Full Description

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (CAS 65381-09-1) is a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) made by esterifying glycerin with caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) fatty acids, commonly sold as fractionated coconut oil. It is used as a lightweight emollient, solvent and carrier in personal-care formulation and as a medium-chain triglyceride lipid in food applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is caprylic/capric triglyceride the same as coconut oil?

No. Caprylic/capric triglyceride (CAS 65381-09-1) is a medium-chain triglyceride made by esterifying glycerin with isolated caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) fatty acids, often sourced from coconut and sold as fractionated coconut oil. It is a refined fraction, not whole coconut oil.

What is caprylic/capric triglyceride used for?

It is used as a lightweight emollient and oxidatively stable carrier/solvent in personal-care formulation (solubilizing actives, flavors, and fragrances) and as a medium-chain triglyceride lipid in food and nutrition applications. RawSource supplies it in bulk.

What is the chemical formula and CAS for caprylic/capric triglyceride?

It is represented as C21H44O7, CAS 65381-09-1, an MCT of C8/C10 fatty acids on a glycerol backbone. Exact fatty-acid ratio varies by grade; request the CoA for specifications.

Is caprylic/capric triglyceride natural?

It is a processed material: the C8/C10 fatty acids are typically derived from plant oils such as coconut and then re-esterified with glycerin. Whether a given lot qualifies for natural/origin certifications is confirmed on the supplied grade's documentation.

What is the cost of bulk caprylic/capric triglyceride?

Bulk pricing depends on grade (cosmetic vs. food), packaging (drums, totes), and volume. RawSource quotes industrial quantities; submit a bulk RFQ for current pricing.
