Coconut oil has been called "the healthiest oil on earth". As a medium-chain fatty acid, coconut oil has a significantly different effect on human physiology than the more common long-chain fatty acids in our food. The saturated fatty acids in coconut oil are basically medium-chain fatty acids. And meat, milk, eggs, and plants (including almost all vegetable oils), whether saturated or unsaturated, are long-chain fatty acids.
Coconut oil fatty acid can be used as reaction raw materials for esters, amines, amides, soaps, etc.; it can be used as an oily component of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
