Caprylaat
Caprylaat, also caprylate, is the term for the salt or ester of caprylic acid (octanoic acid). Caprylic acid is a medium-chain fatty acid consisting of eight carbon atoms and is found in small amounts in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. The caprylate anion forms salts such as sodium caprylate and potassium caprylate, and it also occurs in ester forms such as glyceryl caprylate and ethyl caprylate.
Caprylate salts are prepared by neutralizing caprylic acid with alkali metals (for example sodium or potassium
In biopharmaceutical manufacturing, caprylate is used in the caprylate treatment technique to inactivate enveloped viruses during
Caprylate salts and esters are generally regarded as safe when used within established concentrations in foods,
