Coconut Oil CAS 8001-31-8

What is Coconut Oil CAS 8001-31-8?

Coconut Oil CAS 8001-31-8 is derived from the white flesh of mature coconuts through processes like cold-pressing or solvent extraction, resulting in a solid or semi-solid fat at room temperature with a distinct coconut aroma. It consists primarily of saturated fats, notably medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) like lauric acid, which contribute to its stability and health-related properties. Available in refined and unrefined (virgin) forms, coconut oil is prized for its long shelf life, high smoke point, and suitability for both culinary and non-culinary applications.

  • Natural Moisturizing Properties: Contains fatty acids that hydrate and protect skin and hair.
  • High Smoke Point: Approximately 175°C (350°F) for refined coconut oil, making it suitable for high-heat cooking.
  • Antimicrobial Properties: Lauric acid offers potential antibacterial and antifungal effects.
  • Pleasant Aroma and Flavor: Unrefined (virgin) coconut oil has a distinct coconut scent and taste, while refined versions are neutral.

Applications

  • Cooking and Baking: Used for frying, sautĂ©ing, and baking due to its high smoke point and mild flavor (in refined form).
  • Skincare: Applied in moisturizers, lotions, and balms to hydrate skin and treat conditions like eczema.
  • Haircare: Used as a conditioner or mask to nourish hair, reduce frizz, and promote scalp health.
  • Health and Wellness: Consumed as a supplement for its MCT content, often in smoothies or as part of ketogenic diets.
  • Industrial: Incorporated into soaps, cosmetics, and biofuels due to its stability and emollient properties.
