What it is

Modified coconut oil is derived from coconut oil that has been altered through physical or chemical processes. These modifications can change its melting point, texture, or stability, making it more versatile for food applications. It is a type of fat that comes from the meat of mature coconuts.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use modified coconut oil for its functional properties, such as improving texture, preventing separation, and providing a smooth mouthfeel. It can act as a fat or oil component in various food products. It is often found in baked goods, confectionery, and processed snacks.

Health notes

Modified coconut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other fats, it provides calories and can contribute to saturated fat intake. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated fats and oils, but specific evaluations for 'modified coconut oil' may vary. Evidence on the health effects of coconut oil consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others highlighting its saturated fat content.

Allergen info

Coconut is not considered one of the nine major allergens by the FDA. Modified coconut oil is not derived from major allergens like milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, or soy. It does not contain gluten.
