Description
Like many other fatty acids, lauric acid is inexpensive, has a long shelf-life, and is non-toxic and safe to handle. It is mainly used for the production of soaps and cosmetics. For these purposes, lauric 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. Lauric acid occurs as a white crystalline powde

Lauric acid Use and Manufacturing
It occurs naturally in the form of glycerides in coconut oil, bergamot kernel oil, palm kernel oil and pepper kernel oil. It can be obtained from the hydrolysis of natural oils in industry. Coconut oil, water and catalyst are added to the autoclave and hydrolyzed to glycerol and fatty acids at 250°C and a pressure of about 5 MPa, which contains dodecanoic acid up to 45% to 80%, which is distilled to obtain dodecanoic acid.
