In the process of manufacturing fractionated coconut oil, various oils are fractionated on the basis of their melting points, long-chain fatty acids and lauric acid have a higher melting point than caprylic acid and capric acid, thus they become solid sooner when the process is cooled down. Attributed to fractionation, fractionated coconut oil is rich in medium-chain triglyceride which helps in increases the burning of fat and calories and is less likely to be stored as fat.
