General description

Hexanoic acid is a six-carbon saturated fatty acid found naturally in oils and animal fats as well as produced by certain anaerobic bacteria. It has been widely used in industrial applications such as perfumes, medicine, food additives, lubricating grease, tobacco flavor, rubber, and dyes.
This substance is listed on the positive list of the EU regulation 10/2011 for plastics intended to come into contact with food.

Find all available reference materials for compounds listed in 10/2011 here

Application

Hexanoic acid may be used as a reference standard for the determination of the analyte:
  • In Dortyol yerli orange juices by high performance liquid chromatography method
  • In Lomatogonium rotatum, a herbal medicine sample using acridone-9-ethyl-p-toluenesulfonate (AETS) as a fluorescence derivatization reagent by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
