Virgin Coconut Oil - MCT-Rich Raw Material
Virgin coconut oil is the oil derived from the meat of fresh coconuts (Cocos nucifera), produced by cold-pressing without chemical refining. Coconut oil is naturally rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a class of saturated fats that the body metabolizes differently from long-chain fats. The dominant fatty acid is lauric acid (C12), with smaller amounts of caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10). The MCT fraction has been studied for its role in energy metabolism. This raw material is intended for manufacturers producing softgel supplements, functional foods, MCT-based products, and sports nutrition formulations.
Raw Material Features:
Source: Cocos nucifera fruit (fresh coconut meat)
Processing: Cold-pressed, virgin grade (no chemical refining)
Form: Liquid oil (also available as spray-dried MCT powder)
Lauric Acid Content: ~45-50% of total fatty acids (≈880 mg per 2g serving)
MCT Content: ~60%+ medium-chain fatty acids
Appearance: Clear to pale yellow liquid (above ~24°C); white solid below ~24°C
Aroma: Characteristic mild coconut aroma (virgin grade) or neutral (refined grade)
Active Components: Lauric acid (C12), myristic acid (C14), caprylic acid (C8), capric acid (C10), oleic acid
Primary Applications:
Softgel supplement formulations
MCT and ketogenic supplement products
Weight management blends
Sports nutrition (pre-workout, recovery)
Functional food and beverage applications
Powdered MCT applications (spray-dried grade)
Cosmetic and topical applications (separate cosmetic grade available)
Manufacturing Notes:
Consistent fatty acid profile batch-to-batch
Solidifies below ~24°C (76°F); softgel encapsulation requires warm-fill processing
Spray-dried MCT powder grade available for capsule, sachet, and dry blend formulations
Compatible with complementary ingredients such as omega-3 oils, chia seed oil, and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K)
