Comprehensive analytical chemistry profile, structural characteristics, and regulatory parameters for CAS 1984-06-1.
Octanoic acid sodium salt, commercially designated as Sodium Caprylate (CAS 1984-06-1; EC Number 217-850-5), is the sodium salt of saturated medium-chain C8 fatty acid (caprylic acid). Possessing the molecular formula C8H15NaO2 and a molecular weight of 166.19 g/mol, this amphiphilic compound exhibits unique thermodynamic stability, surface tension lowering capabilities, and protein stabilization properties.
IUPAC Name: Sodium octanoate
Synonyms: Caprylic acid sodium salt, Sodium caprylate
InChIKey: KWGJAOGEAYVNAV-UHFFFAOYSA-M
Solubility: Soluble in water (approx. 100 mg/mL at 20°C), sparingly soluble in alcohol.
As a leading China Octanoic acid sodium salt manufacturer, JIMPOCHEM produces ultra-pure grades engineered specifically to meet strict pharmacopeial monographs (EP, USP, ChP). In biomanufacturing, it serves as a critical structural stabilizer for Human Serum Albumin (HSA) pasteurization and biological plasma fractionation processes, preventing thermal denaturation of proteins at 60°C. Additionally, its amphiphilic structure enables widespread application as a micro-ecological preservative booster, surfactant co-emulsifier, and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis.

High-yield saponification, fractional crystallization, and multi-stage endotoxin reduction engineering.
Our direct stoichiometric reaction between ultra-refined C8 octanoic acid (purity >99.5%) and food-grade sodium hydroxide (NaOH) under controlled thermal conditions eliminates unreacted lipid residues and volatile short-chain fatty acids, guaranteeing exceptionally low odor profiles.
Utilizing proprietary multi-stage vacuum crystallization and ethanol-water solvent refinement, JIMPOCHEM removes trace inorganic salts and structural isomers, yielding macro-crystalline particles with optimal dissolution kinetic curves and superior bulk density consistency.
For injectable and biopharmaceutical plasma fractionation grades, process fluids pass through automated ultrafiltration membrane systems (10 kDa cutoff) combined with high-temperature sterile spray drying to enforce strict pyrogen-free conditions (<0.10 EU/mg endotoxin levels).
How top international enterprises incorporate our Sodium Caprylate in high-tech industrial sectors.
During the Cohn fractionation process for Human Serum Albumin (HSA), heat treatment at 60°C for 10 hours is mandatory to deactivate blood-borne pathogens. Octanoic acid sodium salt selectively binds to hydrophobic domains on albumin molecules, increasing thermal stability without precipitating the protein. Furthermore, it acts as a selective precipitation agent and stabilizing buffer in serum-free cell culture media formulations for CHO cell lines.
In modern cosmetic chemistry, Sodium Caprylate functions as a skin-friendly antimicrobial booster and mild surfactant adjuvant. Its medium-chain carbon backbone disrupts lipid cell membranes of unwanted micro-organisms (such as Malassezia species), enhancing the efficacy of broad-spectrum green preservatives while reducing required dosages of synthetic parabens or phenoxyethanol.
In synthetic resin production, Sodium Caprylate acts as an effective emulsifier for emulsion polymerization processes, controlling latex particle size distributions. It also finds application in metalworking fluids and synthetic lubricants as a bio-degradable rust inhibitor and corrosion control agent on ferrous surfaces under mild alkaline conditions.
As a short-to-medium chain fatty acid salt (MCFA), it displays strong pH-dependent antifungal and antibacterial properties against foodborne pathogens (e.g., Salmonella enterica, E. coli). When added to animal feed premixes, it supports gut health optimization in swine and poultry by regulating intestinal microbiota balance.
