description Lauric acid, also known as dodecanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain and the chemical formula CH3(CH2)10COOH. It is a white, powdery solid with a faint odour of bay oil and is naturally found in various vegetable oils, such as coconut oil and palm kernel oil, as well as in breast milk. Lauric acid is widely used in the production of personal care products, cosmetics, and soaps due to its ability to produce a rich, creamy lather and its mild cleansing properties. It has antimicrobial and antifungal properties, making it a common ingredient in skincare products and pharmaceutical formulations. Lauric acid is also utilized in the food industry as an additive and flavouring agent, particularly in the production of confectionery, baked goods, and dairy products. Despite its utility, excessive consumption of lauric acid may have implications for cardiovascular health, as it is a medium-chain saturated fatty acid, prompting caution in its dietary intake.
