Coconut Fatty Acid Distillate (CFAD)
Coconut Fatty Acid Distillate (CFAD) is a byproduct of the refining process for coconut oil. It is a light yellow to brownish liquid that contains a mixture of fatty acids, including lauric acid, myristic acid, and capric acid. CFAD is commonly used in the production of animal feed, as it is a rich source of energy and medium-chain fatty acids that are beneficial for animal health and growth. It is also used in the production of various industrial products, such as biodiesel, surfactants, and lubricants.
