About Medium Chain Triglyceride
What is it(MCT)?
Our MCT Powder
It refers to a fatty acid composed of 8 to 12 carbon chains, shorter than common vegetable oils‘. It is said that good for digestion and absorption, and turns to be energy.
It is made of palm kernel oil, from Malaysia. It is made by subjecting a mixture of Caprylic acid (C8) and Capric acid (C10) to esterification treatment. It is tasteless, odorless and has no habit and can be used for various foods.
Classification Short Chain Medium Chain
Long Chain
The fatty acid is composed of how many carbon chains.
Less than 6 8 to12 More than 12

Classification of Fatty Acids
※ Long chain fatty acids are classified as "saturated" or "unsaturated" depending on the bonding mode of the carbon chain. ※ There is no natural unsaturated fatty acid for short chain and medium chain fatty acids.
