Octanoic acid CAS 124-07-2
Caprylic acid is a medium chain fatty acid. It has eight carbons in its chain, so it's also called caprylic acid. Caprylic acid is considered an essential fatty acid and is essential for proper functioning of the human body. Lack of it can lead to memory or concentration problems. Octanoic acid is a colorless oily liquid, solidified into flake crystals after cooling, slightly uncomfortable odor and burnt 膣, diluted to fruity aroma. Melting point 16.3℃, boiling point 240℃, refractive index (nD20)1.4278. Slightly soluble in cold water, soluble in hot water and most organic solvents such as ethanol and ether.
