No, the lauric fatty acid content of any coconut oil is highly dependent on the variety of coconut and not on the process used. In a study conducted by the Philippine Coconut Authority Zamboanga Research Center, it was found out that hybrid coconuts contains higher lauric fatty acids compared with local tall varieties.
