Bulk MCT Oil – Food Grade C8/C10
MCT (medium chain triglyceride) oil is a refined oil made mainly of caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) fatty acids, fractionated from coconut or palm kernel oil. Because medium chain fats are absorbed and converted to energy faster than long chain fats, MCT oil is a core ingredient in sports nutrition, ketogenic products and functional foods. It is also valued as a clear, neutral-tasting, oxidation-stable carrier oil.
Cavin Resources supplies bulk food-grade MCT oil to supplement manufacturers, food and beverage producers, cosmetic formulators and distributors worldwide.
Applications of MCT oil
- Sports and keto nutrition – MCT powders, ready-to-drink shakes, keto coffee creamers and energy products.
- Dietary supplements – softgels, liquid supplements and carrier oil for fat-soluble vitamins and botanical extracts.
- Food and beverage – neutral oil for coffee blends, bars, dressings and functional foods.
- Clinical and medical nutrition – as an easily digested fat source in specialised formulas.
- Personal care – light, non-greasy emollient and carrier oil in skin care, massage oils and cosmetics.

Choosing a grade
Standard C8/C10 MCT oil suits most food and personal care uses. High-C8 grades are preferred for premium keto and energy products. Tell us whether you need a coconut-only source, organic material or a specific C8/C10 ratio and we will confirm availability.
Storage
Store in sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. MCT oil is naturally stable against oxidation, giving it a longer shelf life than most vegetable oils.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between MCT oil and coconut oil?
Coconut oil contains a mix of fatty acids, many of them long chain. MCT oil is fractionated so that it is almost entirely medium chain C8 and C10, which is why it stays liquid and is used in nutrition products.
Do you supply high-C8 MCT oil?
Yes, high-C8 grades can be quoted on request, subject to availability.
