ODO is the trade name used across Asia for caprylic/capric triglyceride — the same medium-chain triglyceride as GTCC, supplied here as a food additive grade. It is made by esterifying caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) fatty acids from coconut or palm kernel oil with glycerol, then refining and deodorising. The result is colourless, odourless and tasteless in use, which is precisely why flavour houses specify it as a carrier: it does not interfere with the profile you paid for. Our plant holds a Chinese food additive production licence for caprylic/capric glycerides (辛癸酸甘油酯).
ODO or GTCC — which one should you specify?
They are the same substance: caprylic/capric triglyceride, CAS 65381-09-1. ODO is the trade name most buyers in Asia use, GTCC is the abbreviation found in European cosmetic ingredient lists. What actually differs is the grade and the paperwork behind it. Tell us the grade you need — food additive grade, cosmetic grade or excipient grade — and we will quote against that specification.

Regulatory & Compliance
- Product standard: GB 28302-2012, National Food Safety Standard — Food Additive: Caprylic/Capric Glycerides
- Permitted uses: under GB 2760, this additive may be used quantum satis in flavour emulsions, beverages, ice cream, milk powder, sweets, chocolate, chewing gum and hydrogenated vegetable oils
- Production licence: our Dongying plant holds a food additive production licence listing caprylic/capric glycerides (category 3201) on the approved product annexe — the licence copy is available for your files
- Kosher and HALAL certified for this product line
- No genetically modified material and no allergens are introduced by the process
Applications
- Carrier and diluent for oil-soluble flavours, colours and vitamins — odourless and tasteless, so the profile is not altered
- Base for emulsified flavour concentrates and beverage cloud emulsions
- Emulsion stabiliser in dairy drinks, soy milk, milk powder and ice cream; with lecithin it improves instant dispersion and prevents separation
- Anti-bloom and gloss agent in chocolate and compound coatings; reduces sticking and improves mouthfeel
- Release agent for baking and confectionery moulds; defoamer, preservative aid and processing aid
- Rapidly absorbed energy source in clinical nutrition, sports nutrition and ketogenic formulas — medium-chain triglycerides pass through the portal vein without needing bile emulsification
- Carrier in nutraceutical soft capsules and oral preparations
