Common NameMethyl caprylate
DescriptionMethyl caprylate, also known as methyl N-octanoate or uniphat A20, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid methyl esters. Fatty acid methyl esters are compounds containing a fatty acid that is esterified with a methyl group. They have the general structure RC(=O)OR', where R=fatty aliphatic tail or organyl group and R'=methyl group. Methyl caprylate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Methyl caprylate is a flavouring agent. Methyl caprylate is a sweet, aldehydic, and green tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Methyl caprylate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within pineapples. Methyl caprylate has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as papaya, chinese cinnamons, prickly pears, fruits, and pepper (c. Frutescens). Methyl caprylate is found in Achillea millefolium, Annona montana, Annona reticulata, Arum maculatum, Aspalathus linearis, Astragalus membranaceus, Bothriochloa bladhii, Carica papaya, Citrus iyo, Daphne odora, Elsholtzia fruticosa, Humulus lupulus, Mentha pulegium, Opuntia ficus-indica, Pueraria montana and Schinus molle. This could make methyl caprylate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
