Summary
Medium-Chain Triglyceride (MCT)
2015
MCTs: Triglycerides whose fatty acids have an aliphatic tail of 6-12
carbon atoms.
Generally, MCT oil on the market originates either from palm kernel oil
or coconut oil.
INNOBIO’s MCT oil powder is primarily produced from palm kernel oil,
with two typical concentration ratios of caprylic acid and capric acid,
55%:45% and 70%:30%, respectively.
