Octanoic acid
CAS No.124-07-2
Alias: 1-Heptanecarboxylic acid;caprylic acid free acid;Octanoic Acid (1.00193);CAPRYLIC ACID (OCTANOIC ACID);OCTANOIC ACID, 99.5+%;OCTANOIC ACID 98+% NATURAL FCC;OCTANOIC ACID 98+%;N-CAPRYLIC ACID EXTRA PURE
Molecular formula: C8H16O2
Relative molecular mass: 144.21
Structural formula:
1. Performance and use:
Octanoic acid is a flavoring agent considered to be a short or medium chain fatty acid. It occurs normally in various foods and is commercially prepared by oxidation of n-octanol or by fermentation and fractional distillation of the volatile fatty acids present. It is used in maximum levels, as served, of 0.13% for baked goods; 0.04% for cheeses; 0.005% for fats and oils, frozen dairy desserts, gelatins and puddings, meat products, and soft candy; 0.016% for snack foods; and 0.001% or less for all other food categories.
Octanoic acid (Caprylic acid) is an oily liquid with a slightly unpleasant rancid taste and used commercially in the production of esters used in perfumery and also in the manufacture of dyes. Octanoic acid is also a tremor-suppressing agent.
