As a fat source in our diet, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) result in lower fat deposition when compared by 2 methods to long-chain triglycerides. Using data from 10 animal studies, the calculated energy loss during utilization of MCTs was 16%, resulting in a net energy value (NEV) of 6.97 kcal/ g. The NEV calculated from the molecular composition of 9 MCTs with widely varying caprylic:capric fatty acid ratios was 6.72 ± 0.16 kcal/g. For 5 MCTs with completely defined fatty acid compositions…

Medium-chain fatty acids – Nutritional function and application to cooking oil
Medium-chain fatty acids, which are saturated fatty acids composed of 8–10 carbons, have unique nutritional characteristics different from those of long-chain fatty acids. Medium-chain…

Medium chain triglyceride and medium-and long chain triglyceride: metabolism, production, health impacts and its applications – a review
TLDR
A comprehensive review on MCT and MLCT is provided, with an emphasis on the basic understanding of its structures, properties, unique metabolism; the current status of the touted health benefits; latest routes of production; its up-to-date applications in the different food systems; relevant patents filed and its drawbacks.
Dietary Fat Substitutes
Fat substitues are becoming an important part of the American diet. Many Americans are looking for ways to enjoy their favorite foods while maintaining a low-calorie diet. Food scientists are…
Metabolic and Immunological Effects of Intermittent Fasting on a Ketogenic Diet Containing Medium-Chain Triglycerides in Healthy Dogs
TLDR
There was only a decline in the immune parameters studied when the dogs were IF on a LF diet, which was not seen when on the HF diet, and the potential of IF to be further investigated as a potential beneficial feeding regime for dogs is indicated.
Dietary free fatty acids complex with amylose creating another form of resistant starch: Gastrointestinal formation with fowl and swine
The combined use of triacylglycerols containing medium-chain fatty acids and exogenous lipolytic enzymes as an alternative to in-feed antibiotics in piglets: concept, possibilities and limitations. An overview
TLDR
The present review illustrates the similarity of the action of MCFA and commonly used antimicrobials on the flora and epithelial morphology and histology in the foregut and these observations are believed to be the basis for obtaining optimal growth performances.
EFFECTS OF DIETARY LIPID SOURCE ON FEED INTAKE, UTILIZATION AND GROWTH OF THE AFRICAN CATFISH (CLARIAS GARIEPINUS)
Vegetable oils (groundnut oil, soybean oil, shea butter oil and palm oil) were used to replace fish oil in practical compound feeds for the African catfish (Clarias gariepinus.)Five diet with only…
Weaning Foods: A Review of the Indian Experience
TLDR
This review highlights varieties of weaning foods, blend formulations, nutrient requirements, process characteristics, physicochemical parameters, quality evaluation, and other important aspects of developing a weaning food that satisfies all the requirements of the infant during the vulnerable transitional stage.
Production and structural analysis of triacylglycerols containing capric acid and conjugated linoleic acid isomers obtained by enzymatic acidolysis.
TLDR
Anhydrous Lipozyme IM appears to be the more effective enzyme in acidolysis reactions to obtain structured TAGs containing CLA isomers in the central position and capric acid at external positions.

Levels of medium-chain triglycerides and their energy value
This study examined the effect of the level of dietary intake of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) on their energy value. The MCT oil tested for the purpose replaced baker's shortening in a…
Energy value of medium-chain triglycerides in muffins fed to rats
This study was designed to determine the energy values of three commercially available medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), using young rats as the test model. These MCTs, with slightly different C-8…
Effect of dietary medium chain triglyceride on protein and energy utilisation in growing chicks.
TLDR
The values for fat and energy retentions were significantly lower in the chicks fed on the MCT-supplemented diets than in those receiving the LCT-containing diets, and dietary ME values and efficiencies for energy utilisation were reduced.
Nutritional evaluation of medium-chain triglycerides in the rat
TLDR
Rats fed MCT had slightly lower growth rates and caloric efficiency values, less carcass fat and smaller epididymal fat pads than animals fed conventional dietary fats, and the volume of milk secreted by the rats receiving the MCT diet was smaller and contained a lower level of fat, resulting in slower gains in weight.
Metabolic effects induced by long-term feeding of medium-chain triglycerides in the rat.
Thermogenesis in humans during overfeeding with medium-chain triglycerides.
Metabolic effects in rats of a diet with a moderate level of medium-chain triglycerides.
TLDR
Data show that in rats fed a diet in which MCT supplies 32% of metabolizable energy, a high activity of lipogenic enzymes is observed, suggesting that MCT had no inhibitory effect on the activity of these enzymes.
Nutritional properties of the triglycerides of saturated fatty acids of medium chain-length
SummaryThe influence of a purified rat diet containing 20 or 33% of the saturated medium chain-length triglycerides (MCT) with and without linoleic acid supplements on growth, caloric requirements…
Energy utilisation of medium chain triglyceride in comparison with long chain triglyceride in growing chicks.
TLDR
No significant differences were found in energy retention as protein between the four energy supplemented groups but significant differences in fat and total energy retentions were found between the different dietary energy contents but not between energy source.
Overfeeding with medium-chain triglyceride diet results in diminished deposition of fat.
TLDR
The decreased deposition of fat in the MCT-fed rats may have resulted from obligatory oxidation of M CT-derived fatty acids in the liver after being transported there via the portal vein, leaving almost no MCT derivatives for incorporation into body fat.
