I.Why Molecular Distillation Matters for MCT Production
Traditional refining methods can't match the precision required for high-value MCT fractions. Our short-path distillation technology:
- Preserves heat-sensitive compounds (operating at 1-0.001 mbar)
- Achieves 95%+ purity in a single pass
- Removes pesticides, heavy metals, and oxidation products
- Maintains critical fatty acid profiles
II.The Coconut Oil to MCT Conversion Process
Pre-Treatment
- Crude coconut oil degumming and bleaching
- Preparation of fatty acid feedstock
Molecular Distillation
- Separation of C8 (caprylic) and C10 (capric) fractions
- Continuous feed at controlled temperatures (120-180°C)
Fraction Collection
- Isolated MCT fractions meeting USP/Ph.Eur. standards
- Byproduct recovery of lauric acid and other valuable components
