Usage

General Description

Fatty acids, coco, hydrogenated are a type of saturated fat derived from coconut oil. The process of hydrogenation involves adding hydrogen to the fatty acids in order to make them solid at room temperature, resulting in a more stable and longer shelf-life product. These fatty acids are commonly used in the production of food and beauty products such as soaps, lotions, and cosmetics. They are also used as a source of energy in the body and can contribute to the texture and mouthfeel of food products. However, consuming high levels of hydrogenated fatty acids has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and other health issues, so it is important to consume them in moderation.
