Bio MCT coconut oil 500ml Ölmühle Solling

Organic coconut oil MCT 500 ml Ölmühle Solling

MCT (medium chain fatty acids) from organic coconut oil.

Properties of MCT oil

MCT oil based on coconut oil, unlike other MCT oils, is of course completely free of animal products, therefore vegan and gluten-free . It is odorless and neutral in taste and also clear and transparent - like water. In the kitchen , it is perfect for salads, sauces or smoothies . Compared to pure coconut oil, MCT oil is sensitive to light, so to increase its shelf life, our factory offers it in a brown glass bottle with a practical collapsible dispenser.

What makes medium chain fatty acids so special?

The medium chain fatty acids of MCT oil - capric and caprylic acid - are particularly well metabolized by the body due to their special structure and short carbon chains . Because of this, they do not have to be digested and transported through the lymphatic system first, but reach the liver directly through the blood. Medium-chain fatty acids are directly converted into energy , for example to immediately cover the energy needs of skeletal muscles and the brain or to produce ketone bodies as energy carriers.

What are MCT oils?

The abbreviation MCT, or medium-chain triglycerides, translates to: medium-chain fatty acids. MCT oils consist only of medium chain fatty acids. They have 8 to 10 carbon atoms in the molecule. This distinguishes MCT oils from any other commonly known oils, as pure MCT oils do not occur in nature. Vegetable fats always consist of a combination of different fatty acids, such as medium- and long-chain fatty acids (long-chain triglycerides = LCT with more than 10 carbon atoms).

Medium chain fatty acids are mainly found in tropical plant oils such as coconut oil or palm oil. For example, coconut oil is composed of half medium-chain and half long-chain fatty acids. To produce pure MCT oil, which contains only medium-chain fatty acids, they must be extracted, that is, separated from all other fatty acids.

The natural triglycerides of coconut oil are physically separated into medium and long chain fatty acids by gentle distillation of the free fatty acids at low temperatures. Such enriched medium chain fatty acids naturally produce triglycerides with a lower melting point.

At Ölmühle Solling , it is particularly important that the extraction takes place naturally - without chemical treatment or the use of other unnatural separation methods. Ölmühle Solling's MCT oil is purely mechanically extracted, so it has the highest possible quality and meets the strict requirements of ecological directives.
