Market.us announces publication of its most recently generated research report titled, “Global Medium-Chain Triglycerides Market by Triglyceride Type (Medium-Chain Triglycerides Oil,  Medium-Chain Triglycerides Powder), By End-Use (Food & Beverages, Dietary Supplements, Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care & Cosmetics, Other End-Uses), and by Region – Global Forecast to 2029”, which offers a holistic view of the global medium-chain triglycerides market through systematic segmentation that covers every aspect of the target market.

The global medium-chain triglycerides market is projected to be US$ 1,526.9 Mn in 2019 to reach US$ 2,872.0 Mn by 2029 at a CAGR of 6.6%.

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) are prepared from medium-chain fatty acids along with a carbon chain. These are made by treatment on coconut and palm oils in the laboratory. Its name refers to the arrangement of carbon atoms in its chemical structure. MCT is an oily colorless or yellowish liquid that is insoluble in water. It is miscible with alcohol, light petroleum, methylene chloride, and fatty oil. MCTs are primarily found in foods such as coconut oil, palm kernel oil, cheese, yogurt, butter, and milk. It is a particular form of dietary fat that has several health benefits. MCT powder is MCT oil that is converted into a powder through a process called spray drying. This method is widely used in the food industry to change liquid MCTs into solids (powders) by evaporating the moisture in the particles with hot air.

MCT can be used with usual medication to treat food mal-absorption disorders, including diarrhea, steatosis, celiac disease, liver disease, and digestion, which is caused by partial surgical removal of the stomach (gastrectomy) or intestines (short bowel syndrome). MCT is used to reduce symptoms of a rare lung disease called chylothorax. It is also used in the treatment of AIDS, cystic fibrosis, gallbladder disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and seizures. They are also used in a rare disease called Waldmann’s disease along with a low-fat, high-protein diet. MCT can also help in lowering diabetes; MCT-rich diet increases insulin sensitivity in adults with ‘Type 2’ diabetes. MCTs are also used as a source of fat in total parenteral nutrition (TPN). In TPN, all foods are given intravenously and this type of feeding is necessary for people whose gastrointestinal tracts are no longer functioning.

Global Medium-Chain Triglycerides Market Revenue (US$ Mn), 2019–2029

Various properties of medium-chain triglycerides make it a healthy option among health-conscious consumers. It contains lower calorie content than other fats that aid in weight loss. It also helps in maintaining the appetite according to body weight and reduces calorie consumption.
