The Properties of Lauric Acid and Their Significance

  • What is the Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society?
  • The Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society publishes original scientific research and technological advances on fats, oils, oilseed proteins, and related materials. We deliver important new information on the analysis, properties, processing, products, and applications of these food and industrial resources.
  • What is coconut oil?
  • Coconut oil is an edible oil present in and recovered from the meat of the coconut. It is unique because it contains lauric acid (C12) as its major fatty acid, accounting for 45–53 % of the overall fatty acid composition.
  • Why is coconut oil unique?
  • It is unique because it contains lauric acid (C12) as its major fatty acid, accounting for 45–53 % of the overall fatty acid composition. Because coconut oil is widely consumed in the tropics, lauric acid is a significant component of the diet in these parts of the world. Objectives of this review.
  • What is a good oxidative value for coconut oil?
  • The low peroxide value (0.21–0.57 mequiv oxygen/kg) signified its high oxidative stability, while anisidine value ranged from 0.16 to 0.19. Free fatty acid content of 0.15–0.25 was fairly low, showing that VCO samples were of good quality. All chemical compositions were within the limit of Codex standard for edible coconut oil.
