Neutral oil, also called MCT oil (“Medium Chain Triglycerides”), consists of a mixture of medium-chain fatty acids (triglycerides) of natural origin. The starting basis is usually palm kernel oil or coconut oil. The fats are saponified, unwanted fatty acids (such as lauric acid, myristic acid) are separated and the desired fatty acids are then esterified again with glycerol. It is not vegetable oil in the narrower sense, because no further fatty acids and no fat accompanying substances are contained. Neutral oil is clear, colorless, and odorless.
