Coconut Oil is rich in natural antioxidants and particularly vitamin E, which have a protective effect against free radicals that can contribute to aging, cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Discover the benefits of Coconut Oil! Coconut is mainly grown in tropical areas, especially Africa and South East Asia. The seed within the coconut consists of ‘milk’ and a solid called the copra, which contains about 65% lipids. The oil can be obtained by cold pressing the flesh found inside the shell of the coconut; however other methods such as solvent extraction are sometimes used.
The oil itself has a distinctive, recognisable aroma and is stable when exposed to air. However, the oil has a low viscosity and solidifies at 0 degrees.
Commonly used as cooking oil, Coconut Oil contains predominantly medium chain triglycerides, with roughly 92% saturated fatty acids, 6% monounsaturated fatty acids, and 2% polyunsaturated fatty acids. Of the saturated fatty acids, Coconut Oil is primarily 44.6% lauric acid, 16.8% myristic acid, 8.2% palmitic acid and 8% caprylic acid, although it contains seven different saturated fatty acids in total.
