About Enanthic acid
Enanthic acid is a saturated fatty acid with a seven-carbon chain. It is a colorless oily liquid with an unpleasant, rancid odor. Naturally occurring in some plant oils, it is used in the synthesis of esters for fragrances and flavors. Industrially, enanthic acid serves as an intermediate in the production of lubricants and plasticizers. Chemical formula: CH3(CH2)5COOH
