Glyceryl octoate is a triglyceride composed of fatty acids with 8 ~ 10 carbon atoms, belonging to medium carbon chain fatty acid ester (fatty acid triglyceride with 6 ~ 12 carbon atoms), which is called MCT for short. MCT has good oxidation resistance, and its oxidation rate has not changed after 300 hours measured by AOM method. High temperature resistance, viscosity almost unchanged after long-term boiling and frying; It has good mutual solubility with various solvents, oils, some antioxidants and vitamins.

Main applications
