1. Introduction
Seawit Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) are derived by esterifying glycerol with mixtures of caprylic (C:8) and capric (C:10) fatty acids, which are fractionated from coconut or palm kernel oils. They are specially processed to achieve superior oxidative stability and low color and then are further refined to remove residual fatty acids, resulting in a product with essentially no odor or flavor.
The unique metabolic and functional properties of SEAWIT MCTs, a consequence of their chemical structure, make them versatile ingredients in numerous pharmaceutical, flavor, and food applications.

4. Application
PHARMACEUTICALS
MCTs were developed over fifty years ago as an energy source for patients with fat malabsorption syndrome. They still find utility in medical nutritional products such as those designed to treat renal, enteral, and parenteral conditions, as well as in food for infants unable to metabolize long-chain fats. Due to their smaller molecular size, SEAWIT MCTs are digested much more rapidly than long-chain triglycerides. They are hydrolyzed quickly and, upon absorption, travel directly to the liver via the portal vein, bypassing the lymphatic system. This metabolic pathway permits SEAWIT MCTs to serve as a ready source of energy and prevents them from accumulating as fat in body tissues.
Due to their low viscosity and excellent oxidative stability, SEAWIT MCTs are used as excipients in oral, rectal, and topical pharmaceuticals for human and veterinary applications. They are efficient solvents and therefore act as carriers for fat-soluble vitamins and actives. Their emollient properties enable SEAWIT MCTs to improve the aesthetics of topical products while functioning as a component of a delivery system.
FOOD
SEAWIT MCTs are slightly polar, so they can dissolve a variety of substances that are insoluble in conventional fats and oils, as well as substances that are known to be fat-soluble. Hydrocarbons, esters, and natural oils, as well as alcohols, ketones, and acids, are miscible with SEAWIT MCTs. Incorporating SEAWIT MCTs into flavor systems will enhance their integrity because of MCTs’ outstanding oxidative stability and excellent organoleptic properties. The low viscosity and ease of dispersability of SEAWIT MCTs make them suitable for use as moisture barriers, lubricants, anti-stick, and anti-dusting agents in confectionary, baking, and dried fruit applications. They can be substituted for mineral oil and other high-stability oils.
NUTRITION
SEAWIT MCTs provide 6.8 kilocalories per gram versus 9.0 for conventional fats. This, combined with their tendency to increase satiety, makes them well suited for use in reduced-calorie foods. The nutritional benefits associated with the rapid metabolism of SEAWIT MCTs enable them to find utility in meal replacement systems as well as sports nutrition weight management products.
The nutritional and functional properties of SEAWIT MCTs, as well as the fact that they contain no trans fatty acids, are Kosher and Halal certified, and are not derived from genetically modified organisms, make them ideal components in a wide variety of food applications.
SEAWIT MCTs can be enriched with other triglycerides to produce structured lipids, yielding fats with specific nutritional or functional characteristics. Structured lipids, characterized as mixtures of short, medium, and long-chain fatty acids on a glycerol backbone, are becoming increasingly popular as the need increases for novel ingredients offering functional advantages in food products.
