  • What is coconut oil?
  • Coconut oil is an edible oil present in and recovered from the meat of the coconut. It is unique because it contains lauric acid (C12) as its major fatty acid, accounting for 45–53 % of the overall fatty acid composition.
  • Why is coconut oil unique?
  • It is unique because it contains lauric acid (C12) as its major fatty acid, accounting for 45–53 % of the overall fatty acid composition. Because coconut oil is widely consumed in the tropics, lauric acid is a significant component of the diet in these parts of the world. Objectives of this review.
  • How is coconut oil metabolized?
  • Coconut oil is rapidly metabolized because it is easily absorbed and lauric acid is easily transported. Detailed studies have shown that the majority of ingested lauric acid is transported directly to the liver where it is directly converted to energy and other metabolites rather than being stored as fat.
  • What is lauric acid in coconut oil?
  • Lauric acid makes up approximately half of the fatty acids in coconut oil and detailed studies show that lauric acid accounts for many of the properties of coconut oil. The triglyceride structure of coconut oil enables it to be digested more rapidly compared with other vegetable oils with predominantly long chain fatty acids (LCFA).
  • What fatty acid is in coconut oil?
  • Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative The primary fatty acid of coconut oil is lauric acid, which is present at approximately 45–53 %.
  • Does virgin coconut oil contain fatty acid?
  • Learn more. A study on the commercial virgin coconut oil (VCO) available in the Malaysian and Indonesian market was conducted. The paper reported the chemical characteristics and fatty acid composition of VCO. There was no significant difference in lauric acid content (46.64–48.03%) among VCO samples.
