Medium chain triglycerides have a wide range of applications and may have more demand in feed processing

Medium-chain triglycerides, or medium-chain fats, are triglycerides composed of fatty acids with 6-12 carbon atoms. They are naturally found in foods such as palm kernel oil and coconut oil and breast milk. They are one of the sources of dietary fat. Due to its short carbon chain, medium-chain triglycerides can be used as emulsifiers in the food industry and have good mutual solubility and solubility between the water phase and the oil phase. Because medium-chain triglycerides have special physiological and biochemical properties that are different from long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) or long-chain triglycerides (LCT), they have been used in human clinical treatments ( Such as gastroenteritis, obesity, diabetes), especially used to provide energy for patients with lipodystrophy and premature infants. In recent years, medium-chain triglycerides, as a functional raw material that can quickly replenish energy, have been widely used in sports foods and are gradually being used as feed additions to mammals.

Industrial Research Center issued the 2022 Global and China “In-depth research report on the chain triglyceride industry” shows that the global medium-chain triglyceride industry market size may grow from US$680 million in 2022 to US$1.08 billion in 2027, with a compound annual growth rate The rate is 9.7%. The increasing recognition of medium-chain triglycerides by consumers and the increasing application fields of medium-chain triglycerides are the main factors driving the growth of its market size.

The role of triglyceride triglyceride in mammals (such as piglets) has gradually appeared

Medium-chain triglycerides have special physiological changes and can be well absorbed and used by newborn piglets. They are relatively fast energy substances and can alleviate the problem of energy deficiency in newborn piglets. Among them, they have a more prominent effect on sick and weak piglets, and can To a certain extent, it promotes the metabolism and digestion of newborn piglets and improves the weight and survival rate of weaned piglets. At the same time, medium-chain triglycerides can regulate the immune system of piglets, have certain preventive and bactericidal effects on pathogenic microorganisms, and can improve the production performance of piglets. Adding medium-chain triglycerides to feed can improve the reproductive ability of sows. , improve the birth rate and survival rate of piglets and the number of healthy piglets, etc.

​​ ​China’s medium-chain triglyceride consumption market is huge

China accounts for approximately 30% of the medium-chain triglyceride consumption market in Asia, becoming one of the strongest growing markets in the region. Changes in Chinese consumers’ lifestyles and preferences are increasing demand for medium-chain triglycerides. As China’s economy develops, the increase in consumer purchasing power has led to increased demand for high-quality processed foods, nutritious diets, personal care and cosmetic products. The consumption of medium-chain triglycerides in the Chinese market is expected to increase further in the future as it is an essential additive in nutritional supplements, infant formula, sports drinks, pharmaceuticals, personal care and other applications.

Key players in the regional medium-chain triglycerides market include BASF SE (Germany), Koninklijke DSM NV (Netherlands), Dupont (United States), Lonza Group Ltd (Switzerland), Musim Mas Holdings (Singapore), Croda International Plc ( UK), P&G Chemicals (US), Acme-Hardesty Company (Bluebell, PA), Wilmar International Limited (Singapore), Stepan Company (US), Sternchemie GmbH & Co. KG (Germany), Emery Oleochemicals Group (US), KLK Oleo (Malaysia), Nutricia (New Zealand), Connoils (USA), Now foods (USA), Jarrow formula’s (USA), Nutiva (USA), Henry Lamotte Oils GmbH (Germany).
