Both belong to the medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) family, which gives them distinct physicochemical properties compared to long-chain fatty acids such as palmitic or stearic acid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In nature, caprylic and capric acids occur in lauric-rich vegetable oils, primarily <a href=\"\/en\/coconut-oil\/\">coconut oil<\/a> and palm kernel oil, alongside other saturated fatty acids. Due to their complementary functional properties, caprylic acid is commercially available as a blend with capric acid under the C-0810 designation.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>CAS Number: 68937-75-7<\/li>\n<li>EC Number: 273-086-2<\/li>\n<li>Caprylic acid formula (C8): C<sub>8<\/sub>H<sub>16<\/sub>O<sub>2<\/sub><\/li>\n<li>Capric acid formula (C10): C<sub>10<\/sub>H<sub>20<\/sub>O<sub>2<\/sub><\/li>\n<li>Commercial reference: CYPAFRAK 0810<\/li>\n<li>Technical designation: C-0810<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>PROCESS<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Origin and production of C-0810<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Caprylic and capric acids are obtained from the <strong>hydrolysis of <a href=\"\/en\/coconut-oil\/\">coconut oil<\/a> or palm kernel oil<\/strong>, followed by fractional distillation, which isolates and combines the C8 and C10 fractions in the required technical ratio. This oleochemical process guarantees 100% vegetable origin and full traceability of raw materials from source to delivery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At Cail\u00e0 &amp; Par\u00e9s, we have over 60 years of experience in oleochemical production.
