Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) are derived by esterifying glycerol with mixtures of caprylic (C:8) and capric (C:10) fatty acids which are fractionated from coconut or palm kernel oils. They are specially processed to achieve superior oxidative stability and low color and then are further refined to remove residual fatty acids, resulting in a product with essentially no odor or flavor.
The unique metabolic and functional properties of MCTs, a consequence of their chemical structure, make them versatile ingredients in numerous Pharmaceutical, Flavor and Food applications.
