Medium-chain triglyceride oil

Lycopene was dispersed in medium-chain triglyceride oil derived from esterification of fatty acids and glycerol composition was stable for 3 mo at 25°C, compared with dispersion on soybean oil... 

As calories were reduced, the more elite athletes increased their protein intake to 2.5g per pound of bodyweight daily and begin trading some complex carb calories for MCT (medium chain triglyceride) oil calories (which is a fat that can not theoretically be stored as fat). MCT oil contains 8.5-9 calories per gram.

If the gut tolerance is for only very small volumes, we have supplemented 0.9 cal/ml - 1.0 cal/cc feeding with the addition of medium chain triglyceride oil 0.5 - 1.0 ml per feeding.

The influence of the lipophilic external phase on the production of xylan-based microparticles by interfacial cross-linking polymerization has been investigated (Nagashima et al., 2008). Three different external phases were investigated a 1 4 (v/v) chloroform cyclohexane mixture, soybean oil, and a medium chain triglyceride, with viscosities below 1, 24, and 52 cP, respectively. It was observed that the use of these different lipid phases results in different macroscopic and microscopic aspects of the system (Figure 10). 

The application of microemulsions in foods is limited by the types of surfactants used to facilitate microemulsion formation. Many surfactants are not permitted in foods or only at low levels. The solubilization of long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) such as edible oils is more difficult to achieve than the solubilization of short- or medium-chain triglycerides, a reason why few publications on microemulsions are available, especially because food-grade additives are not allowed to contain short-chain alcohols (C3-C5). 

Water-immiscible, volatile, or more likely nonvolatile liquids such as vegetable oils, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons (mineral oil), medium-chain triglycerides, and acetylated glycerides.

This is not an anabolic steroid nor is it even an anabolic chemical except as a food. These were reported popular injectable products that contain a sterile (bacteria free and pure) medium chain triglyceride (MCT), an acid, and usually Procain or lidocaine (all of which have been made inert). The oil was injected deep into a muscle to add size. Usually this was done to smaller muscle groups such as biceps, triceps, delts, calves, and smaller round back muscles. 

Biochemical stress can be minimized by using frequent feedings to minimize dependence on fatty acid oxidation, particularly for the liver. Meals should have a high-carbohydrate, low-fat content. Medium-chain triglycerides (synthetic or derived from coconut or palm kernel oils) can be used as these lipids can be oxidized independent of carnitine. These steps are particularly important when any external metabolic stress, such as a viral illness, is present.

Fatty acids with less than 12 carbon atoms are classified as medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA). Esters of MCFA with glycerol, known as medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), are components in medical foods and infant food formulations. With more than 15% C6, C8, and CIO fatty acids, coconut oil is the richest source of MCFA.

Refined de-oiled lecithin can also be blended with carriers such as cocoa butter, hard butters, medium-chain triglycerides, or other diluents to obtain products with more functionality and different physical characteristics. Up to 40% phospholipids may be incorporated in these carriers without the use of solvents. These products are usually stabilized against autoxidation by the addition of antioxidants (33). De-oiled lecithin should be packaged as soon as possible to prevent moisture...
