Product Description of Coconut Oil CAS#8001-31-8
Coconut oil is a natural vegetable oil extracted from coconut pulp, with dried coconut pulp containing approximately 63%–70% oil content. It presents as a white, lard-like semi-solid fat with a distinct and pure coconut fragrance. Its chemical composition is dominated by glycerides of lauric acid, myristic acid and oleic acid.
This product features stable and standard physical indices, with a melting point of 20–28°C, a saponification value of 250–264, an iodine value of 8–12, and an acid value of maximum 6. It is soluble in alcohol, chloroform, ether and carbon disulfide, and completely insoluble in water. It can undergo saponification reaction with caustic soda solution at room temperature.
With superior physical and chemical properties, it serves as a high-quality raw material for manufacturing soaps, edible fats, chocolate, candies and various downstream products.
