Technical Document

Brief Overview Capric triglyceride, often known as caprylic, is composed of a mixture of glycerine and fatty acids derived from palm oil. Caprylic is a colorless and odorless liquid fraction that is resistant to oxidation. It is mainly used as a raw material in certain industries such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Manufacturing Process Caprylic triglycerides are obtained from coconut oil by hydrolysis. The complex chain of triglycerides of the coconut oil is broken down into glycerol and chains of fatty acid. Certain chains of fatty acids are required and are separated through a distillation process. The distillate fatty acid is re- esterified to yield a caprylic triglyceride.
