Capric acid, also known as decanoic acid or decylic acid, is a saturated fatty acid, medium-chain fatty acid , and carboxylic acid. Its formula is CH38COOH. Salts and esters of decanoic acid are called caprates or decanoates. The term capric acid is derived from the Latin "caper / capra" because the sweaty, unpleasant smell of the compound is reminiscent of goats.
