MTCʻO ia ka Medium Chain Triglycerides, ka mea i loaʻa maoli i loko o ka ʻaila Palm Kernel,ʻAila Niua me nā meaʻai ʻē aʻe, a ʻo ia kekahi o nā kumu nui o ka momona ʻai. ʻO ka MCTS maʻamau e pili ana i nā triglycerides Caprylic saturated a i ʻole saturated Capric triglycerides a i ʻole Mixture saturated.
Paʻa loa ka MCT i nā wela kiʻekiʻe a haʻahaʻa. ʻO ka MCT wale nō nā ʻakika momona momona, loaʻa ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, he wai ma ka lumi wela, haʻahaʻa viscosity, ʻala ʻole a waihoʻoluʻu. Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā momona maʻamau a me nā momona hydrogenated, ʻoi loa ka haʻahaʻa o nā ʻiʻo momona unsaturated o MCT, a maikaʻi loa kona kūpaʻa oxidation.
