What is Tridecanoic acid?

Description

Tridecanoic acid , or tridecylic acid, is a 13-carbon saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)11COOH. It is commonly found in dairy products. It is also found in some plants, such as nutmeg, muskmelon, black elderberry, and coconut.

Chemical properties

off-white or white crystalline solid; waxy, woody aroma.

Occurrence

Reported found in star fruit oil Cuba (0.30%) and rue oil Cuba (0.07%).

The Uses of Tridecanoic acid

Tridecanoic acid is a metabolite found in the aging mouse brain. It can be used in organic synthesis which is used to synthesize Testosterone Tridecanoate. It can also be used in wastewater treatment as a glycol ester and to reduce the presence of organic molecules such as caproic acid, alkanoic acid, and multivariate logistic regression.

What are the applications of Application

Tridecanoic acid has been used as an internal standard for the lipid analysis of total intramuscular fat from broilers and fatty acid analysis in chinook salmon roe lipids. It has also been used as a reference standard in gas chromatography for quantifying fatty acids in meat samples.

What are the applications of Application

Tridecanoic acid is a saturated fatty acid
