Distilled Coconut Fatty Acid

Specialty-products

The process begins with hydrolysis or saponification of coconut oil to separate free fatty acids. These are then purified by vacuum distillation, removing color bodies, unsaponifiables, and moisture, yielding a high-purity mixture of fatty acids primarily composed of lauric, myristic, capric, and caprylic acids.
