Role in food

MCT oil is often added to foods as a source of fat and energy. …

What it is

MCT oil is a type of fat derived from coconut or palm kernel oil. It is made by processing these oils to concentrate medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are fatty acids with specific chain lengths. These MCTs are then typically purified and bottled.

Why it's used

MCT oil is often added to foods as a source of fat and energy. It is commonly found in products like energy bars, protein drinks, and specialty keto or low-carb foods. Manufacturers use it because it is easily digested and absorbed by the body.

Health notes

MCT oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fat and calories. Some research suggests MCTs may have a role in weight management and energy levels, but evidence is mixed and more studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated MCT oil and set an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

MCT oil is not derived from any of the nine major allergens and is considered gluten-free.
