Capric acid is a short-chain, saturated acid occurring naturally in palm and coconut oils, as well as certain types of milk. It is used for a variety of industrial and manufacturing processes. Also known as C10 fatty acid and decanoic acid, capric acid is commonly derived from both vegetable and animal sources.

Capric Acid
Uses & Applications
We offer our decanoic acid as a soluble liquid and can be used in any process in which a conventional, animal-based product is typically employed. Capric acid is commonly used as an artificial flavor in food, as a natural antimicrobial sanitizer in food processing plants and certain personal care products, and as a solubilizer for mineral oil. It is also used as an agent for organic synthesis in many manufacturing processes, as well as an ester that facilitates the absorption of certain drugs into fatty tissue.
We are happy to discuss the potential applications of any of our products. Contact Acme-Hardesty today for assistance.
