Coconut Oil(CAS: 8001-31-8)

Coconut oil, with CAS number 8001-31-8, is a saturated fat derived from the meat of mature coconuts. Its chemical formula is C55H98O6, and it consists primarily of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), such as lauric acid. It is solid at room temperature, has a high melting point, and is known for its stable chemical structure and mild aroma.

Coconut oil (CAS: 8001-31-8) is widely used in cooking, skincare, and haircare due to its moisturizing properties and high lauric acid content. In pharmaceuticals, it serves as a base for topical formulations. Industrially, it is used in soap production and as a natural preservative. It also finds applications in biodiesel and cosmetic products.

Coconut oil (CAS: 8001-31-8) is generally safe for consumption and topical use when handled properly. It has low toxicity and is well-tolerated by most individuals. However, people with coconut allergies should avoid it. In industrial settings, protective measures like gloves and ventilation are recommended to ensure safety during handling.

Coconut oil (CAS: 8001-31-8) should be stored in a cool, dark place (ideally below 25°C) in a sealed, airtight container to prevent oxidation. It is stable at room temperature but may solidify in cold conditions. Avoid exposure to direct light and high humidity to maintain quality and extend shelf life.
