What are medium-chain triglycerides?
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a special class of fatty acids. Normal fats and oils contain long-chain fatty acids (LCTs). Compared to these fatty acids, MCTs are much shorter in length.
How is MCT oil made and what is the process involved in its production?
MCT oil is made through a process called fractionation, where coconut or palm kernel oil is refined to isolate medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). This involves heating the oil and then cooling it to separate the MCTs from the other fatty acids. The MCTs are then filtered and purified to create the final MCT oil product.
Is palm oil saturated or unsaturated?
No oil is purely one or the other, they are all mixtures. Palm oil has about the same amount of saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids. Palm oil contains very little polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Does honey increase triglycerides?
Yes. I added honey to my cacao drink daily and my triglycerides increased every week even when I maintained normal to low carbs diet. I stopped honey and switched to palm nectar then my triglycerides decreased from 155 to 114 within one week (normal range of triglycerides is<150).
What is the molecular weight of palm stearin?
The approximate molecular weight of palm stearin, which is a mixture of triglycerides derived from palm oil, ranges from 800 to 900 g/mol. This molecular weight can vary depending on the specific composition of fatty acids present in the palm stearin.
Does palm oil contain sugar?
No, palm oil does not contain sugar. It is a type of vegetable oil extracted from the fruit of oil palm trees and primarily consists of fats, including saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. While palm oil is used in various food products, it does not naturally contain carbohydrates or sugars.
What foods contain palm oil?
Palm Oil Sandwich Palm Oil Pie Palm Oil Pasty Palm Oil Casserole
Why palm kernel oil known as non polar?
Palm kernel oil is considered nonpolar due to its molecular structure, which primarily consists of long-chain fatty acids and triglycerides. These molecules lack significant polar functional groups, resulting in a hydrophobic nature that does not interact well with water. As a result, palm kernel oil does not dissolve in polar solvents and is classified as a nonpolar substance. This characteristic influences its behavior in various applications, such as cooking and cosmetics.
