Lauric Acid methyl ester

Lauric acid methyl ester is an esterified version of lauric acid (Cay-10006626), which is a common 12-carbon saturated fatty acid. Lauric acid methyl ester was a major component (35.5%) of biodiesel made from crude fat extracted from black soldier flies, with oleinic acid methyl ester (23.6%) and palmitic acid methyl ester (14.8%, Cay-10007358) as lesser components. It has also been used in the transesterification of starches and as an internal standard for GC- and LC-MS.Formal Name: dodecanoic acid, methyl ester. CAS Number: 111-82-0.
