Caprylic/Capric Acid Extra Pure is a high-purity blend of medium-chain saturated fatty acids—primarily octanoic (caprylic) and decanoic (capric) acids—used in laboratory environments for studying lipid chemistry, esterification, and antimicrobial properties. Its dual-chain composition makes it valuable for investigating emulsion systems, fatty acid metabolism, and as a reference standard in chromatographic analysis. This acid mixture is also employed in the synthesis of esters, surfactants, and as a model compound in solubility and partition coefficient experiments. The extra pure grade ensures minimal contamination, supporting consistent and accurate results in biochemical and organic chemistry applications. It should be stored in a cool, dry place in tightly sealed containers to maintain stability and prevent oxidation.
