Common Name

Butyric acid

Description

Butyric acid, also known as butyrate or butanoic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as straight chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with a straight aliphatic chain. Butyric acid exists as a liquid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Butyric acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Butyric acid is a potentially toxic compound.
