Lauric acid (CAS: 143-07-7) is a saturated medium-chain fatty acid that occurs naturally in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. It is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline solid with a faint bay-oil odour and is essentially insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The compound is a key raw material for soaps, detergents, and surfactants, and it also finds use as a food additive and cosmetic emollient.
