Caprylic acid (from Latin capra 'goat'), also known under the systematic name octanoic acid or C8 Acid, is a saturated fatty acid, medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA). It has the structural formula H 3 C−(CH 2 ) 6 − COOH , and is a colorless oily liquid that is minimally soluble in water with a slightly unpleasant rancid-like smell and taste. [ 1 ]
Caproic, caprylic, and capric acids (capric is a crystal- or wax-like substance, whereas the other two are mobile liquids) are not only used for the formation of esters, but also commonly used "neat" in: butter, milk, cream, strawberry, bread, beer, nut, and other flavors.

Ethyl octanoate, also known as ethyl caprylate, is a fatty acid ester formed from caprylic acid and ethanol. A colorless liquid at room temperature, it has the semi-developed formula of CH 3 (CH 2) 6 COOCH 2 CH 3, and is used in food industries as a flavoring and in the perfume industry as a scent additive. It is present in many fruits and ...
