Medium-chain triglycerides

Product Name : Medium-chain triglycerides

Product Description :
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are high -chain (6 to 12 carbons) fatty acid esters of glycerol. MCTs passively diffuse from the GI tract to the portal system (longer fatty acids are absorbed into the lymphatic system) without requirement for modification like long-chain fatty acids or very-long-chain fatty
acids.

Technical uses :
MCTs are bland compared to other fats, and do not generate off-notes as quickly as LCTs. They are also more polar than LCTs. Because of these attributes, they are widely used as solvents for flavours and oral medicines and vitamins.
