Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity potential of the constituent glycerides, C8 -18, and C18 -unstad. (coconut oil) according to an unspecified method.

Under the study conditions, the oral LD50 of test substance in rats is greater than 5,000 mg/kg bw (Biotech Index, 1970).
