- Hexanoic acid (common
name caproic acid), is the carboxylic acid derived from hexane with the
general formula C5H11COOH.
- Caproic acid is a
colorless oily liquid with an odor reminiscent of goats or other
barnyard animals.
- Caproic acid is a fatty
acid found naturally in various animal fats and oils, and is one of the
chemicals that gives the decomposing fleshy seed coat of the ginkgo its
characteristic unpleasant odor. The salts and esters of this acid are
known as hexanoates or caproates.
- Fatty acids are a
carboxylic acid with a long unbranched aliphatic tail , which is either
saturated or unsaturated.
- Saturated fatty acids
do not contain any double bonds or other functional groups along the
chain.
The term "saturated" refers to hydrogen, in that all carbons
contain as many hydrogens as possible.
- Saturated fatty acids
form straight chains and, as a result, can be packed together very
tightly, allowing living organisms to store chemical energy very
densely. The fatty tissues of animals contain large amounts of
long-chain saturated fatty acids.
- The human body can
produce all but two of the fatty acids it needs. These two, linoleic
acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (LNA), are widely distributed in
plant oils.
- In addition, fish oils
contain the longer-chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
- Caproic acid occurs as
a free acid or salt, as well as in the form of an ester.
