Yes the palm oil is rich in oleic, linoleic, etc. but fully hydrogenated palm oil (e.g., stearine) should not show oxidation due to the lack of double bonds.

The point I’m making is that you need all 3, whereas coconut oil only has 1. Yes, being capric and caprylic vs linoleic, linolenyl, or ricinoleic acid esters would indeed preclude oxidation. But you can get this from basically any hydrogenated oil, be it palm oil or soybean oil.

But products contain fats, carbs, and proteins- everything that a bacterium needs to grow. Coconut oil is just mono-, di-, and triglycerides of caprylic and capric acid so unlikely that anything could grow on that.

Reply to comment by Chef_Chantier in Solvents made from plants could replace the petroleum-derived solvents used today in organic solar cells and transistors. Compounds derived from eucalyptus and other plants are formulated into an ink for printing electronic components. by MistWeaver80
The percentage of these compounds by mass of the plant is usually very very small, as it is, they are extremely expensive (maybe ~100-1000 times more expensive) to purchase. So to make it economical you would need tons and tons of land and tons and tons of water.

Reply to Specific cannabinoids revive adaptive immunity by reversing immune evasion mechanisms in metastatic tumours by Defiant_Race_7544
They don’t have appropriate controls - resorcinols and flavonoid like compounds, e.g., some of the cannabinoids they are testing, are notorious false positives in biochemical assays. They use vehicle control but not another structurally similar compound with no activity.
