Vegetable Origin Description

Fatty alcohols (or long-chain alcohols) are usually high-molecular-weight, straight-chain primary alcohols. Some commercially important fatty alcohols are lauryl, stearyl, and oleyl alcohols.

Fatty acids are the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat. During digestion, the body breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can then be absorbed into the blood. Fatty acid molecules are usually joined together in groups of three, forming a molecule called a triglyceride.

Coconut oil is a plant-based oil derived from coconuts. Coconut oil once vilified for its saturated fat content as a potential artery-clogger has enjoyed a new, almost superfood status.
