From its plants in Asia, Wilmar manufactures an ester called medium chain triglyceride (MCT). This ester is made through esterification process with the fatty acid 8 and 10s with refined glycerine. This oil is used as a carrier for flavour and vitamins. It is also a high energy source for sports nutrition, the incapacitated or elderly.

MCT is known to metabolise more like a carbohydrate than a fat so is primarily for energy burn rather than fat storage.
