Duodecylic acid is found naturally in various plant and animal fats and oils, and is a major component of coconut oil and palm kernel oil.
Duodecylic acid is a medium-length long-chain fatty acid, or lipid, that makes up about half of the fatty acids within coconut oil.
Duodecylic acid’s a powerful substance that is sometimes extracted from the coconut for use in developing monolaurin.
Monolaurin is an antimicrobial agent that is able to fight bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and other pathogens.
Because you can’t ingest Duodecylic acid alone (it’s irritating and not found alone in nature), you’re most likely to get it in the form of coconut oil or from fresh coconuts.
Though coconut oil is being studied at a breakneck pace, much of the research doesn’t pinpoint what in the oil is responsible for its reported benefits.
Because coconut oil contains much more than just Duodecylic acid, it would be a stretch to credit it with all of the coconut oil benefits.
Still, a 2015 analysis suggests that many of the benefits tied to coconut oil are directly linked to Duodecylic acid.
Among the benefits, they suggest Duodecylic acid could aid weight loss and even protect against Alzheimer’s disease.
Its effects on blood cholesterol levels still need to be clarified.
This research suggests that the benefits of Duodecylic acid are due to how the body uses it.
The majority of Duodecylic acid is sent directly to the liver, where it’s converted to energy rather than stored as fat.
When compared with other saturated fats, Duodecylic acid contributes the least to fat storage.
Duodecylic acid is a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain, thus having many properties of medium-chain fatty acids.
Duodecylic acid is a bright white, powdery solid with a faint odor of bay oil or soap.
The salts and esters of Duodecylic acid are known as laurates.
Like many other fatty acids, Duodecylic acid is inexpensive, has a long shelf-life, and is non-toxic and safe to handle.
Duodecylic acid is mainly used for the production of soaps and cosmetics.
For these purposes, Duodecylic acid is neutralized with sodium hydroxide to give sodium laurate, which is a soap.
Most commonly, sodium laurate is obtained by saponification of various oils, such as coconut oil.
These precursors give mixtures of sodium laurate and other soaps. Duodecylic acid occurs as a white crystalline powder
Duodecylic acid is a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain used in industrial cleaners, lubricants, soaps, surfactants, agricultural additives, coatings, food additives, textile additives.
Duodecylic acid, the saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain, thus falling into the medium chain fatty acids, is a white, powdery solid with a faint odor of bay oil or soap.
Duodecylic acid, as a component of triglycerides, comprises about half of the fatty acid content in coconut oil, laurel oil, and in palm kernel oil.
Otherwise Duodecylic acid is relatively uncommon.
Duodecylic acid increases total serum cholesterol the most of any fatty acid.
But most of the increase is attributable to an increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (the "good" blood cholesterol).
As a result, Duodecylic acid has been characterized as having "a more favorable effect on total:HDL cholesterol than any other fatty acid, either saturated or unsaturated."
In general, a lower total/HDL serum cholesterol ratio correlates with a decrease in atherosclerotic risk.
For these purposes, Duodecylic acid is neutralized with sodium hydroxide to give sodium laurate, which is a soap.

Duodecylic acid is a bright white, powdery solid with a faint odor of bay oil or soap.
The salts and esters of Duodecylic acid are known as laurates.
Duodecylic acid is a saturated fatty acid with a terminal carboxylic acid.
The terminal carboxylic acid, Duodecylic acid, can react with primary amine groups in the presence of activators such as HATU.
Duodecylic acid is a carbon 13 labeled form of a saturated fatty acid found in coconut milk, coconut oil, laurel oil, and palm kernel oil, as well as in human breast milk and other animal milks.
Duodecylic acid is a proton pump inhibitor potentially for the treatment of helicobacter pylori infections.
In vitro experiments have suggested that some fatty acids including Duodecylic acid could be a useful component in a treatment for acne, but no clinical trials have yet been conducted to evaluate this potential benefit in humans.
Duodecylic acid increases total serum cholesterol more than many other fatty acids.
But most of the increase is attributable to an increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (the "good" blood cholesterol).
As a result, Duodecylic acid has been characterized as having "a more favorable effect on total HDL cholesterol than any other fatty acid, either saturated or unsaturated.
Duodecylic acid, identified by CAS number 143-07-7, is a saturated medium-chain fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom backbone, prominently known for its role in the manufacturing of soaps, detergents, and cosmetics.
As a fundamental component, Duodecylic acid is celebrated for its surfactant properties, which enable the production of a rich lather in cleansing products.
In research, Duodecylic acid is extensively used to study lipid behavior in various systems due to its amphiphilic nature, which allows it to assemble into micelles and other nanostructures in aqueous solutions.

General exposure to Duodecylic acid occurs through the consumption of food and through dermal contact with cosmetics, soaps, and detergent products.
Occupational exposure may cause local irritation of eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory tract, although Duodecylic acid is considered safe and nonirritating for use in cosmetics.
No toxicological effects were observed when Duodecylic acid was administered to rats at 35% of the diet for 2 years.
MEDIUM-CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES OF DUODECYLIC ACID:
Medium-chain triglycerides, or fatty acids, such as Duodecylic acid, are characterized by a specific chemical structure that allows your body to absorb them whole.
This makes them more easily digestible--your body processes them as it would carbohydrates, and they are used as a source of direct energy.
Compared to long-chain triglycerides, the type in other saturated fats, MCTs have fewer calories per serving, roughly 8.3 calories per gram rather than the standard 9 calories per gram, according to an article in "Nutrition Review."
PRODUCTION METHODS OF DUODECYLIC ACID:
1. Industrial production methods can be grouped into two categories:
* derived from the saponification or high temperature and pressure decomposition of natural vegetable oils and fats;
* separated from the synthetic fatty acid.
Japan mainly uses coconut oil and palm kernel oil as the raw materials for the preparation of Duodecylic acid.
The natural vegetable oils used to produce Duodecylic acid include coconut oil, litsea cubeba kernel oil, palm kernel oil and mountain pepper seed oil.
Other plants oil, such as palm kernel oil, tea tree seed oil and camphor tree seed oil, can also service industry to produce Duodecylic acid.
The residual C12 distillate from the extraction of Duodecylic acid, containing a large number of dodecenoic acid, can be hydrogenated at atmospheric pressure, without catalyst, to convert into Duodecylic acid with a yield of more than 86%.
2. Derived from the separation and purification of coconut oil and other vegetable oil.
3. Duodecylic acid naturally exists in coconut oil, litsea cubeba kernel oil, palm kernel oil and pepper kernel oil in the form of glyceride.
Duodecylic acid can be derived from the hydrolysis of natural oils and fats in industry.
The coconut oil, water and catalyst are added into the autoclave and hydrolyzed to glycerol and fatty acid at 250 ℃ under the pressure of 5MPa.
The content of Duodecylic acid is 45%~80%, and can be further distilled to obtain Duodecylic acid.
AIR AND WATER REACTIONS OF DUODECYLIC ACID:
Duodecylic acid is insoluble in water.
AROMA THRESHOLD VALUES OF DUODECYLIC ACID:
Aroma threshold values
Aroma characteristics at 1.0%: fatty, creamy, cheeselike, candle waxy with egglike richness
TASTE THRESHOLD VALUES OF DUODECYLIC ACID:
Taste characteristics at 5 ppm: waxy,fatty and oily, tallowlike, creamy and dairylike with a coating mouthfeel
NUTRITIONAL AND MEDICAL ASPECTS OF DUODECYLIC ACID:
Although 95% of medium-chain triglycerides are absorbed through the portal vein, only 25–30% of Duodecylic acid is absorbed through it.
Duodecylic acid induces apoptosis in cancer and promotes the proliferation of normal cells by maintaining cellular redox homeostasis.
Duodecylic acid increases total serum lipoproteins more than many other fatty acids, but mostly high-density lipoprotein (HDL).
As a result, Duodecylic acid has been characterized as having "a more favorable effect on total HDL than any other fatty acid [examined], either saturated or unsaturated".
In general, a lower total/HDL serum lipoprotein ratio correlates with a decrease in atherosclerotic incidence.
Nonetheless, an extensive meta-analysis on foods affecting the total LDL/serum lipoprotein ratio found in 2003 that the net effects of Duodecylic acid on coronary artery disease outcomes remained uncertain.
A 2016 review of coconut oil (which is nearly half Duodecylic acid) was similarly inconclusive about the effects on cardiovascular disease incidence.
INCLUDING DUODECYLIC ACID IN YOUR DIET:
Duodecylic acid can be taken as a supplement, but it is most commonly consumed as part of coconut oil or palm kernel oil.
Duodecylic acid is considered to be safe based on the amounts generally found in food.
According to NYU Langone Medical Center, coconut and palm kernel oil contain up to 15 percent MCTs, along with a number of other fats.
However, because they are still pure oil, limit your intake of MCTs to stay within the recommended 5 to 7 teaspoons of oil per day as set out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
You can use coconut and palm kernel oil for stir-fries because both oils withstand high heat.
They can also be used in baking, adding a natural richness to your food.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF DUODECYLIC ACID:
Duodecylic acid occurs as a white crystalline powder with a slight odor of bay oil or a fatty odor.
Duodecylic acid is a common constituent of most diets; large doses may produce gastrointestinal upset.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF DUODECYLIC ACID:
Like many other fatty acids, Duodecylic acid is inexpensive, has a long shelf-life, and is non-toxic and safe to handle.
Duodecylic acid is mainly used for the production of soaps and cosmetics.
For these purposes, Duodecylic acid is neutralized with sodium hydroxide to give sodium laurate, which is a soap.
Most commonly, sodium laurate is obtained by saponification of various oils, such as coconut oil.
These precursors give mixtures of sodium laurate and other soaps.
REACTIVITY PROFILE OF DUODECYLIC ACID:
Duodecylic acid is a carboxylic acid.
Carboxylic acids donate hydrogen ions if a base is present to accept them.
They react in this way with all bases, both organic (for example, the amines) and inorganic.
Their reactions with bases, called "neutralizations", are accompanied by the evolution of substantial amounts of heat.
Neutralization between an acid and a base produces water plus a salt.
Carboxylic acids in aqueous solution and liquid or molten carboxylic acids can react with active metals to form gaseous hydrogen and a metal salt.
Such reactions occur in principle for solid carboxylic acids as well, but are slow if the solid acid remains dry.
Even "insoluble" carboxylic acids may absorb enough water from the air and dissolve sufficiently in Duodecylic acid to corrode or dissolve iron, steel, and aluminum parts and containers.
Carboxylic acids, like other acids, react with cyanide salts to generate gaseous hydrogen cyanide.
The reaction is slower for dry, solid carboxylic acids.
Insoluble carboxylic acids react with solutions of cyanides to cause the release of gaseous hydrogen cyanide.
