What is virgin coconut oil powder?
Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is pressed from fresh Cocos nucifera coconut and is naturally rich in lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid. Bionutricia's VCO powder converts that oil into a free-handling, creamy-white powder by spray-drying it onto an arabic-gum carrier, giving 25–35% lauric acid in a form that disperses in water. This is a compositional description of the ingredient; no disease, treatment or health-outcome claim is made or implied. Powdering the oil makes it far easier to weigh, blend and dose than liquid oil — and the arabic-gum emulsification keeps it vegan and dairy-free.
Emulsified on arabic gum — not sodium caseinate
Every oil powder Bionutricia makes is emulsified on arabic gum (acacia) — never sodium caseinate, and never a synthetic emulsifier. This matters: the industry-default carrier, sodium caseinate, is milk-derived, which makes it a declarable Annex II allergen and rules out vegan and dairy-free positioning. Because our virgin coconut oil powder is carried on arabic gum, it can be offered as genuinely vegan, dairy-free and allergen-free — a real formulation advantage for clean-label and halal ranges.
What is it used for in formulation?
It is supplied as a bulk raw ingredient to brand owners and manufacturers, who formulate it into their own finished products: instant coffees and creamers, keto and MCT-style beverages, energy and sports-drink powders, bakery and confectionery, dairy-alternative and functional-food powders — as well as capsules, tablets, sachets or any other finished format the brand chooses to produce. The powder is typically used at 2–8% of a formulation, adjusted to the target format.
