Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameDecanoic acid
DescriptionDecanoic acid, also known by capric acid has the molecular formula of C10H20O2. Decanoic acid is a white crystalline solid with a rancid odor and a melting point of 31.5°C. Soluble in most organic solvents and in dilute nitric acid. Decanoic acid is industrially used to make esters for perfumes and fruit flavors and as an intermediate for food-grade additives. Decanoic acid is a 10 carbon atoms long, straight-chain, saturated fatty acid. It has been described as an antibacterial agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, a human metabolite, a volatile oil component, a plant metabolite and an algal metabolite. It is the conjugate acid of a decanoate. Capric acid is found naturally in the coconut and palm kernel oils as well as the milk of various mammals. It is widespread in plant oils and as glycerides in seed oils. Decanoic acid is volatilized during the combustion of cannabis and can be found in cannabis smoke (Ref: Ref:DOI ).
