ADVANTAGES VCO
Coconut oil has advantages over other oils because almost 50% of the fatty acids contained therein are lauric acid which is a medium chain fatty acids (MCFA). During this lauric acid is used as a raw material in the cosmetics industry, application and usefulness in the food industry became known in recent years. High lauric acid content can be obtained from virgin coconut oil (VCO). The important difference between ordinary coconut oil with VCO is the raw material and manufacturing process. Ordinary coconut oil or known as RBD coconut oil (refined, bleached and deodorized) copra processing of raw materials using high temperature and chemicals. While the VCO is processed from fresh coconut raw materials with low temperature and without the use of chemicals.
BENEFITS Medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) FOR HEALTH
According to Dr. Bruce Fife author of the book “The Healing Miracles of coconut oil”, palm oil is a major source of lauric acid which is classified as medium chain fatty acids, better known by MCFA (medium chain fatty acids) that coconut oil is widely used in food formulas for patients in hospitals and for additional infant formulas. Unlike other fatty acids, MCFA found in coconut Minak very easily digested and absorbed by the body to use as energy source of the fastest so it helps the healing process of patients. For people who have digestive problems for example in the case of cystic fibrosis, MCFA is required as an essential nutrient that needs to be added directly into the diet.
MCFA superiority compared to long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) is in the process of metabolism in the body. MCFA has smaller molecules so it is not necessary high energy and require only a few enzymes to break down the fat they will be a form that is readily absorbed body. With dimikian process of absorption and distribution in the body will take place more quickly and immediately used as an energy source of the body. At the time consumed MCFA will be broken down by enzymes present in saliva and gastric juices that are not necessary enzyme digestion by breaking fat produced by the pancreas so that the workload of the pancreas and the digestive system is not too heavy, It is very help patients who have metabolic and digestive problems, especially malabsorption of fat and fat-soluble vitamins. MCFA also very beneficial for people with diabetes, obesity, pancreatitis, spleen disorders, and cancers of the digestive tract.
In the process of digestion of other fats such as cholesterol, saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids and short chain length, it is necessary enzymes to break down fat pankrease into smaller units. This unit will then be absorbed by the intestines in the form of lipoproteins which then goes to the liver to be converted into energy and partially stored in the form of body fat.. In this case the process of digestion of fat into energy for very long. MCFA is not converted into lipoproteins but immediately broken down into smaller molecules, absorbed into the liver to be converted into energy so that energy needs will be met in a short time and will not cause the accumulation of body fat, increased levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.
In the human or animal body would lauric acid into monolaurin which monoglycerides which have the effect of antibacterial, antiviral, and antiparasitic. Dr.Enig in the article “COCONUT: IN SUPPORT OF GOOD HEALTH IN THE 21st CENTURY” describes some of the research that has been conducted since 1978 and proved that monolaurin may enable some pathogenic bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes important, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus group A, F and G. coconut oil also has anti-aging effects that can be used for skin care.
Coconut oil for health benefits have been discussed comprehensively by Murray Price in the book “COCONUT OIL FOR YOUR HEALTH ‘and has been translated into Indonesian by COCONUT OIL THERAPY titles. Currently the use of VCO for health has begun to become popular in Indonesia. It is nevertheless necessary observed that the VCO can provide health benefits if it is produced by a process correctly and lauric acid containing not less than 50%. Given the VCO has considerable benefits for health then it is possible can be used also in the field of animal health and pet care.
