A 2011 study by Van Andel Research Institute published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry revealed that decanoic acid – or capric acid – can serve as a regulator of blood sugar levels. Capric acid is a natural, saturated fatty acid and is found in palm kernel oil and coconut oil as well as in the animal fats and milk of certain mammals. The study showed that capric acid may have significant applications in designing safer and better drugs for the treatment of diabetes.
This is just one of the many benefits of capric acid and the market for the same has been on the path of development owing to the rise in consumer awareness. The global capric acid market, according to a report by Transparency Market Research, is estimated to rise from a value of US$1.2 Bn in 2014 to US$1.8 Bn by 2023 at a steady CAGR of 5.0% from 2015 to 2023.
