Poudre d'huile de coco
Coconut oil powder is obtained by drying and encapsulating oil extracted from the ripe flesh of the coconut (Cocos nucifera). This process preserves the lipid properties of the oil in a dry, stable form that is easy to incorporate into nutritional formulas. Coconut oil is naturally rich in medium-chain saturated fatty acids (MCTs), particularly lauric acid, capric acid, and caprylic acid. These lipids are recognised for their rapid metabolism by the body: they are sent directly to the liver, where they contribute to energy production. Lauric acid alone accounts for around 50% of the fatty acids present, giving coconut oil a distinctive lipid profile among vegetable oils. Supplementing with coconut oil powder is of practical interest for those wishing to incorporate MCTs into their diet in a convenient way, particularly as part of a balanced diet or an active lifestyle. Its powder form makes dosing precise and storage stability reliable.
