Clear colorless liquid | [Definition]
ChEBI: Methyl decanoate is a fatty acid methyl ester and a decanoate ester. It is a metabolite found in or produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. | [Preparation]
Methyl decanoate is prepared by esterification of capric acid with methanol or alcoholysis of coconut oil, purified by fractional vacuum distillation. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]

Methyl decanoate is reported to occur in parmesan cheese, sparkling wine and banana. | [Flammability and Explosibility]
Nonflammable | [Purification Methods]
Pass the ester through alumina before use and distil in a vacuum. [Beilstein 2 IV 1044.] |
