Chemical Information

FooDB Name

Sedanoic acid

Description

Caproic acid, also known as hexanoate or caproate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 4 and 12 carbon atoms. Caproic acid is a medium chain triglyceride (MCT). Caproic acid is a medium chain triglycerides (MCT). Caproic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. It is a conjugate acid of a hexanoate. Caproic acid is found naturally in various plant and animal fats and oils.
