Description

General description

Decanoic acid (DA) is a saturated medium-chain (10 carbons) fatty acid primarily used in the manufacture of plastics, cosmetics, and lubricants. DA is naturally found in coconut and palm oil.

This substance is listed on the positive list of the EU regulation 10/2011 for plastics intended to come into contact with food. Find all available reference materials for compounds listed in 10/2011 here

Application

• Decanoic acid (DA) may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in tobacco by coupling needle-based derivatization headspace liquid-phase microextraction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-LPME/GC-MS).
• Decanoic acid (DA) may also be used as a reference standard for the determination of the analyte (DA) in water samples by a method based on continuous solid-phase extraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS).
