[Intro]
Decanoic acid, or capric acid, is a saturated fatty acid. Its formula is CH3(CH2)8COOH.
Salts and esters of decanoic acid are called decanoates or "caprates". The term
capric acid arises from the Latin "capric" which pertains to goats due to their
olfactory similarities.
Capric acid occurs naturally in coconut oil (about 10%) and palm kernel oil (about 4%),
otherwise it is uncommon in typical seed oils.[4] It is found in the milk of various mammals
and to a lesser extent in other animal fats
