Introduction of Sodium Decanoate is the sodium salt of decanoic acid (a 10-carbon medium-chain fatty acid, also called capric acid). It is used in food, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications due to its surfactant, antimicrobial, and stabilizing properties.
1. Antimicrobial Agent – Effective against bacteria, fungi, and viruses; used in food preservation and disinfectants.
2. Surfactant/Emulsifier – Found in soaps, detergents, and cosmetics.
3. Pharmaceutical Applications – Used in drug formulations for its solubility-enhancing properties.
4. Food Additive (E570) – Acts as a flavoring agent and stabilizer.
5. Biochemical Research – Studied for its metabolic effects (like other medium-chain fatty acids).

5. Biochemical Research – Studied for its metabolic effects (like other medium-chain fatty acids).
Application of Sodium decanoate is the sodium salt of decanoic acid (capric acid), a medium-chain fatty acid with the chemical formula C₁₀H₁₉O₂Na.
Chemical Formula: CH₃(CH₂)₈COONa
Molecular Weight: ~194.25 g/mol
Appearance: White crystalline powder or solid
Solubility: Soluble in water and polar solvents
1. Surfactant & Soap: Acts as a mild surfactant or soap due to its amphiphilic nature (hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic head).
2. Antimicrobial Agent: Exhibits antibacterial and antifungal properties, particularly against certain pathogens.
3. Biochemical Research: Used in lipid studies and as a component in microbiological media.
4. Food & Pharmaceuticals: Sometimes used as an emulsifier or preservative in food and drug formulations.
Sodium decanoate is produced by the saponification (alkaline hydrolysis) of decanoic acid with sodium hydroxide (NaOH):
CH₃(CH₂)₈COOH + NaOH → CH₃(CH₂)₈COONa + H₂O
Generally considered low toxicity but may cause mild irritation to skin/eyes in concentrated forms.
Used in regulated amounts in food and cosmetics.
