Description
EMERCOL C10-12 80:20 MY (Decyl-Lauryl Alcohol 80:20 ) is used as a precursor to the fragrance dodecanal, and makes lubricating oils, surfactants, and as an emollient.
EMERCOL C10-12 80:20 MY (Decyl-Lauryl Alcohol 80:20 ) is a fatty alcohol that is dodecane in which a hydrogen from one of the methyl groups is replaced by a hydroxy group.
EMERCOL C10-12 80:20 MY (Decyl-Lauryl Alcohol 80:20 ) is registered for use in apple and pear orchards as a Lepidopteran pheromone/sex attractant, used to disrupt the mating behaviour of certain moths whose larvae destroy crops.
Colorless thick liquid with a sweet odor.
Floats on water.
Freezing point is 75°F.
EMERCOL C10-12 80:20 MY (Decyl-Lauryl Alcohol 80:20 ) is a saturated 12-carbon fatty alcohol obtained from coconut oil fatty acids.
EMERCOL C10-12 80:20 MY (Decyl-Lauryl Alcohol 80:20 ) has a floral odor and is used in detergents, lubricating oils, and pharmaceuticals.
Also known as dodecyl alcohol or lauryl alcohol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohols.
These are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms.
Thus, EMERCOL C10-12 80:20 MY (Decyl-Lauryl Alcohol 80:20 ) is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule.
Exists as a solid and is considered to be practically insoluble (in water) and relatively neutral.
Has been detected in multiple biofluids, such as feces, saliva, and urine.
Within the cell, is primarily located in the membrane (predicted from logP) and cytoplasm.
Exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans.
Participates in a number of enzymatic reactions.
In particular, can be biosynthesized from dodecane.
EMERCOL C10-12 80:20 MY (Decyl-Lauryl Alcohol 80:20 ) can also be converted into lauryl palmitoleate and dodecyl palmitate.
Outside of the human body, can be found in a number of food items such as arrowhead, chickpea, narrowleaf cattail, and red rice.
This makes a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
