Molecular Formula : C12H24O2
Molecular Weight : 200.32

C12 Lauric Acid , also known as dodecanoic acid is a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain, thus falling into the medium chain fatty acids, it is has a faint odor of bay oil or soap.
C12 Lauric Acid is mainly used for the production of soaps and cosmetics.

Applications of C12 Lauric Acid:
C12 Lauric Acid is found in many vegetable fats, particularly in coconut and palm kernel oils.
C12 Lauric Acid has been found to increase total cholesterol the most of all fatty acids.
But most of the increase is attributable to an increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) "good" cholesterol.
C12 Lauric Acid is inexpensive, has a long shelf-life, and is non-toxic and safe to handle.

C12 Lauric Acid is a saturated medium-chain fatty acid with a 12-carbon backbone.
C12 Lauric Acid is found naturally in various plant and animal fats and oils, and is a major component of coconut oil and palm kernel oil.
C12 Lauric Acid is a white solid with a slight odor of bay oil.
C12 Lauric Acid is an inexpensive, non-toxic and safe to handle compound often used in laboratory investigations of melting-point depression.
C12 Lauric Acid is a solid at room temperature but melts easily in boiling water, so liquid lauric acid can be treated with various solutes and used to determine their molecular masses.

C12 Lauric Acid, systematically dodecanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain, thus having many properties of medium-chain fatty acids.
C12 Lauric Acid is a bright white, powdery solid with a faint odor of bay oil or soap.
The salts and esters of C12 Lauric Acid are known as laurates.

Occurrence of C12 Lauric Acid
C12 Lauric Acid, as a component of triglycerides, comprises about half of the fatty-acid content in coconut milk, coconut oil, laurel oil, and palm kernel oil (not to be confused with palm oil),Otherwise, it is relatively uncommon.
C12 Lauric Acid is also found in human breast milk (6.2% of total fat), cow's milk (2.9%), and goat's milk (3.1%).

Uses of C12 Lauric Acid
Like many other fatty acids, C12 Lauric Acid is inexpensive, has a long shelf-life, is nontoxic, and is safe to handle.
C12 Lauric Acid is used mainly for the production of soaps and cosmetics.
For these purposes, C12 Lauric Acid is reacted with sodium hydroxide to give sodium laurate, which is a soap.
Most commonly, sodium laurate is obtained by saponification of various oils, such as coconut oil.
These precursors give mixtures of sodium laurate and other soaps.
C12 Lauric Acid is a precursor to dilauroyl peroxide, a common initiator of polymerizations.

C12 Lauric Acid or dodecanoic acid is a medium-chain saturated fatty acid, that contains 12 carbon atoms (C 12) without any double bonds.
C12 Lauric Acid is very present in coconut oil.
C12 Lauric Acid is also found in breast milk, in which it is the main fatty acid.

C12 Lauric Acid is the most abundant fatty acid present in coconut oil.
C12 Lauric Acid is also one of the main flavor constituents of Chinese rice wine and sweet cream butter.
C12 Lauric Acid is commonly used in lubricants and also in edible-coating formulations.

C12 Lauric Acid is the most abundant medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) in virgin coconut oil.
C12 Lauric Acid's a powerful "super ingredient" that provides a wide range of health benefits for pets.
But despite the fact that it's such a beneficial ingredient, there's controversy regarding lauric acid in coconut oil.

C12 Lauric Acid is a major component of coconut oil and palm kernel oil.
C12 Lauric Acid is used as an intermediate and surface active agent in industry and in the manufacture of personal care products in the consumer market.
C12 Lauric Acid is an inexpensive, non-toxic and safe to handle compound often used in laboratory investigations of melting-point depression.
C12 Lauric Acid is a solid at room temperature but melts easily in boiling water, so liquid C12 Lauric Acid can be treated with various solutes and used to determine their molecular masses.

C12 Lauric Acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
C12 Lauric Acid is a potentially toxic compound.
C12 Lauric Acid or systematically, dodecanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain, thus having many properties of medium-chain fatty acids, is a bright white, powdery solid with a faint odor of bay oil or soap.
The salts and esters of C12 Lauric Acid are known as laurates.

C12 Lauric Acid is a saturated fat.
C12 Lauric Acid is found in many vegetable fats, particularly in coconut and palm kernel oils.
