Ethyl acetate caprinate

Among the compounds commonly determined in research laboratories are diacetyl, 2,3-butandiol, glycerol, citramalic acid, amino acids (especially proline), histamine, ammonia, succinic acid, phosphate, ash, alkalinity of the ash, ethyl, acetate, methyl anthranilate, total volatile esters, higher alcohols (both total and individually) phenolic compounds, etc. An elegant method for determining ethyl esters, capronate, caprylate, caprinate, and laurate using carbon disulfide extraction and GLC has been published (123). 

Transesterification. Six to 30 moles of methyl or ethyl acetate, methyl caprinate, laurate, oleate, stearate or methacrylate was added to a DMF solution of one mole of sucrose chelate. The reaction mixtures were allowed to stand 3 h at 100° or 120°C and analyzed.
