Nonanoic Acid

Nonanoic acid is a medium-chain saturated fatty acid. It is a volatile compound that has been found in raw and roasted pecans. Nonanoic acid inhibits mycelial growth and spore germination in the plant pathogenic fungi M. roreri and C. perniciosa in a concentration-dependent manner. It has herbicidal activity against a variety of species, including crabgrass. Nonanoic acid has been used as an internal standard for the quantification of free fatty acids in olive mill waste waters. Formulations containing nonanoic acid have been used in indoor and outdoor weed control and as cleansing and emulsifying agents in cosmetics.CAS Number: 112-05-0.
