Technical Document

Brief Overview

Methyl caprylate also known as methyl octanoate is a fatty acid methyl ester that has a molecular formula of C9H18O2. Methyl caprylate has an orange-like flavor that is naturally found in citric fruits. Methyl caprylate is a colorless liquid that is insoluble in an inorganic solution.

Manufacturing Process

Methyl caprylate is fabricated by the esterification process between caprylic acid and methanol at 60°C. An additional method is possible by isolating methyl caprylate from the esterification process between triglycerides/fatty acids and methanol via vacuum distillation. The vacuum distillation allows methyl caprylate to be purified therefore increasing the concentration.
