24 results about "Cocamide" patented technology

Cocamide is a mixture of amides manufactured from the fatty acids obtained from coconut oil. As coconut oil contains about 50% of lauric acid, in formulas only the 12-carbon chains tend to be considered. Therefore the formula of cocamide can be written as CH₃(CH₂)₁₀CONH₂, though the number of carbon atoms in the chains varies (it is always even).
