Frequently Asked Questions

What is calcium caprylate?

Calcium caprylate (CAS 2115-00-6) is the calcium salt of caprylic (octanoic) acid, a saturated C8 fatty-acid salt. It is supplied as a food-grade (FCC) additive.

What is calcium caprylate used for?

It is a food-grade caprylate-salt additive; caprylate salts of this type function as antimicrobial and preservative agents in food. RawSource supplies it for industrial and food-manufacturing use.

What does the 11.6% specification refer to?

The 11.6% figure denotes the calcium content of this FCC grade. Confirm the exact assay range and other parameters on the Certificate of Analysis for the lot you receive.

Is calcium caprylate the same as caprylic acid?

No. Caprylic (octanoic) acid is the free C8 fatty acid; calcium caprylate is its calcium salt. The salt is a solid additive, whereas the free acid is a different material with different handling and solubility.

Does RawSource supply FCC calcium caprylate in bulk with documentation?

Yes. We distribute food-grade additives in bulk and provide a Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet with shipments. Request FCC documentation against CAS 2115-00-6 with your RFQ.
