What it is
Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil is a type of fat derived from coconut oil or palm kernel oil. It is made by processing these oils to concentrate the medium-chain fatty acids, such as caprylic and capric acid. This process typically involves hydrolysis, fractionation, and esterification.
Why it's used
MCT oil is often used as a fat source in foods, particularly in products marketed for ketogenic or low-carbohydrate diets. It can also function as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients. You might find it in beverages, dressings, and baked goods.
Health notes
MCT oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of energy and is metabolized differently than longer-chain fats. JECFA has evaluated MCT oil and established an acceptable daily intake. Some studies suggest MCTs may have benefits for weight management and cognitive function, but more research is needed. Evidence is mixed on its long-term health effects at high intakes.
Allergen info
MCT oil is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
