Question: what are the medium chain fatty acids?
Answer: 3.1 Medium-Chain Fatty Acids Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) are saturated or unsaturated fatty acids found at high concentrations in food such as coconut oil, with lauric acid (C12:0) representing ∼50% of its fat content. MCFAs are quickly oxidized by the liver and thus less obesogenic than LCFAs.
