Description of Octanoic acid

Caprylic acid is the common name for the eight-carbon saturated fatty acid known by the systematic name octanoic acid. Its compounds are found naturally in the milk of various mammals, and as a minor constituent of coconut oil and palm kernel oil. It is an oily liquid that is minimally soluble in water with a slightly unpleasant rancid-like smell and taste.
Two other acids are named after goats: caproic (C6) and capric (C10). Along with caprylic acid these total 15% in goat milk fat.

What is Octanoic acid?

With the progress of science and technology and the development of society, chemical products have invariably permeated our daily lives, in medicine, food, cosmetics, electronics, industry, and other areas, becoming an essential part of our lives. One such product is Octanoic acid which has developed particularly rapidly in recent years. Do you know about Octanoic acid?

 

The official answer: Oaprylic acid is an organic substance with the chemical formula C8H16O2, an eight-carbon straight-chain carboxylic acid. It is a colorless oily liquid that cures into flaky crystals after cooling, with a slightly unpleasant odor and a fruity aroma after dilution. It has the property of being slightly soluble in cold water and soluble in hot water and most organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Natural products exist in nutmeg, lemongrass, apple, coconut oil, wine, hops, etc.

What’s the application of Octanoic acid?

The natural product is found in nutmeg, lemongrass, apple, coconut oil, wine, hops, etc. Octanoic acid can be obtained from coconut oil by fractional distillation of volatile fatty acids. The industrial production of octanoic acid is based on octanal as raw material, which is prepared in the laboratory by heating n-methylmalonic acid to release carbon dioxide and reducing the pressure to 4~6.65kPa to make the reaction complete. Finally, the reaction product is distilled under reduced pressure and the 127-129°C (2.13kPa) fraction is collected as octanoic acid. The yield is 80~85%. Octanoic acid can be produced from the reaction of 1-octene and peracetic acid. There is also the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-octanol.

Commonly used in baked goods, meat products, and fast food. It can be used in O/W and W/O creams, O/W lotions, skin and bath oils, fat-rich capsule baths, shampoos, lip balms, and other stick products and make-ups with high alcohol content, aerosol products. It is used in the manufacture of dyes, drugs, spices, etc. It is an edible spice permitted under GB 2760-86. It is also used as a plasticizer, lubricant, insecticide, mold inhibitor, rust inhibitor, corrosion inhibitor, foaming agent, defoamer, etc. It is also used for ore separation.

WHY THEY SAY TO US

Peter has been my partner for many years, we met at the Shanghai CPHI Fair in 2014, for the first time I didn't have much interest in Peter's products because our company had a stable supplier. Although we didn't work together, Peter would often send me important news and interesting trend information about the industry, so we became good friends, even though I didn't place any orders with him during this time, even if it was a sample order. In September 2016, our original supplier was unable to provide us with the quality and delivery guarantees we needed, so I first thought of Peter and his company. Until now, we have maintained a very good personal friendship in addition to a steady business relationship.

In all my years of sourcing from China, I first time to found that working with Sincere Chemical was so good, they helped me with all the production and delivery as well as a lot of technical expertise, which saved me a lot of time. When I first approached Peter for a quotation for Optical Brightener, he made me a detailed quotation with not only prices but also foreign trade details, company profile, company strengths, R&D capabilities, production capacity, packaging methods, raw material control, environmental protection, and much more. This information was a very important reference for me in making purchasing decisions. Sincere Chemical is a trustworthy supplier and I believe our business will grow from strength to strength!

Hi, I'm Kim, I'm Peter's partner and although I don't like him very much (because he never gives me more money for my prices, hahaha) I'm still willing to write him customer feedback. As an international buyer, I have to deal with a lot of things every day and my inbox is often full of development letters. It's a lot of junk and meaningless pleasantries, which I don't like that much, but Peter's emails always give me a better understanding of the product and the industry. I am also very pleased with his work ethic, and I am very happy with his work every time I work with him, not only in providing quotations but also in facilitating all the details of my work so that I can concentrate more on other things, so he is the best supplier for me. Although his prices are not the lowest among all suppliers, his products give me the greatest peace of mind.
