Nonanoic acid

SKU: orb1221524

Description

Nonanoic acid is a fatty acid which occurs naturally as esters are the oil of pelargonium. Synthetic esters such as methyl nonanoate are used as flavorings. Pelargonic acid is an organic compound composed of a nine-carbon chain terminating in a carboxylic acid. It is an oily liquid with an unpleasant rancid odor. It is nearly insoluble in water but well soluble in chloroform and ether.(In Vitro):Nonanoic acid upregulates endogenous host defense peptides to enhance intestinal epithelial immunological barrier function via histone deacetylase inhibition.
