Virgin coconut oil (VCO) has become a multifunctional material for biomedical applications due to its remarkable health benefits. The use of VCO for biomedical applications has seen tremendous growth over recent years, triggering researchers to develop various approaches for VCO utilization. Nanofibers-based structure offers promising properties to encapsulate VCO, enhancing its performance and broadening its application in the medical field. Studies of VCO-loaded polymeric nanofibers for biomedical applications are currently gradually rising. Recently, in nanofibers technology, centrifugal jet spinning (CJS) offers cost-efficient and higher production rates to yield nanofibers compared to the other methods. This review summarizes recent advances of VCO for biomedical applications. Comprehensive suggestions for encapsulating VCO into nanofibers using the CJS technique are also provided. Highlights of future challenges in utilizing the CJS technique to produce VCO-loaded nanofibers for biomedical applications are also elaborated.
