Caprylate Guide

Caprylic acid is the common name for the eight-carbon saturated fatty acid known by the systematic name octanoic acid. It is found naturally in the milk of various mammals, and it is a minor constituent of coconut oil and palm kernel oil.[1] It is an oily liquid that is minimally soluble in water with a slightly unpleasant rancid-like smell.

Three such acids are named after goats: caproic (C6), caprylic (C8), capric (C10), totaling 15% in goat milk fat....
