Fractionated Coconut Oil Uses

As the name implies, Fractionated coconut oil is a fraction of the coconut oil from which almost all the long chain fatty acids are removed, thus leaving mainly the medium-chain fatty acids and making it an absolutely saturated oil. This saturation gives it a very, very long shelf life and greatly increased stability. This process causes the oil to remain odorless and a liquid in all temperatures.

In addition, fractionating raises the comparative concentration of Capric acid and Caprylic acid, thus giving it more of antioxidant and disinfecting effect.
