Description

General description

Lauric acid is the most abundant fatty acid present in coconut oil.[1] It is also one of the main flavor constituents of Chinese rice wine[2] and sweet cream butter.[3] Lauric acid is commonly used in lubricants and also in edible-coating formulations.[4][5]

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives . This product is a Biobased products, showing key improvements in Green Chemistry Principles “Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses” and “Use of Renewable Feedstock”.
