The main benefits of glycerides in comparison with organic acid salts are summarized in the following table
| Glycerides of organic acids | Ca/Na salts of acids | |
| Active component | Glycerides of SCFA & MCFA | Calcium or sodium salts of organic acids |
| Need of encapsulation | No | Yes, hydrolysis by water |
| % of dissociation – pH 3 | 0% | 0% ,Encapsulation is dissolved until in small intestine (pH about 6) |
| Efficiency at pH 3/ Antibacterial effect | Yes | No, Encapsulation is dissolved until in small intestine (pH about 6) |
| Time of dissociation of organic acid after hydrolysis at pH 7 | Never | <1 second immediately after hydrolysis |
| % of dissociation – pH 7 | 0% | 98-99% |
| Efficiency in high pH 7 / Antibacterial effect | Yes | No |
