NEOBEE Medium Chain Triglycerides have been used in nutritional products for over forty years due to the unique way they are metabolized.  Unlike typical long chain fats that travel through the body's lymphatic system, NEOBEE MCTs are transported directly to the liver where they are preferentially burned for energy.

 

Although they are completely saturated, NEOBEE MCTs have little effect on cholesterol levels under normal circumstances and they provide fewer calories per gram than long chain fats.

 

NEOBEE MCTs are also used for their functional attributes.  They are low viscosity liquids with excellent oxidative stability and superior organoleptic properties which make them excellent flavor solvents or coatings. 

 

In addition to NEOBEE MCTs, Stepan offers DREWPOL Polyglycerol Esters, WECOBEE triglycerides and DREWMULSE emulsifiers.

 

New offerings include DREWPOL PGPR, a low HLB emulsifier used in chocolate coatings and low fat spreads; DREWMULSE GMC-810, a food grade wetting agent; DREWPOL 3-5-CC which has similar properties to an MCT but with higher viscosity and smoke point and a much lower freeze point and STEPAN EDS, a high melting lipid for encapsulation.

 

More information on these products can be found in our recently issued brochure.
