Application


  • Chemical Characterization of Terpene-Based Hydrophobic Eutectic Solvents and Their Application for Pb(II) Complexation during Solvent Extraction Procedure.: This paper discusses the use of Decanoic acid in novel eutectic solvents for heavy metal extraction, presenting a green chemistry approach to environmental cleanup and recovery of valuable metals (Suljkanović et al., 2024).

General description

Decanoic acid, a medium-chain fatty acid, is one of the volatile flavor/aroma constituents that has been identified in apple wine, stored nonfat dry milk and parmesan cheese.
