Polystyrene-based caprylic acid microencapsulation for thermal energy storage
Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2017 Abstract In this study, caprylic (octanoic) acid microcapsules were synthesized with polystyrene shell material using the emulsion polymerization method. The influence of the type and concentration of the crosslinking agent on the phase-change properties of the microcapsules was examined.

Purification of Therapeutic Serums of Snake Anti-Venom with Caprylic Acid. [PDF]
J Pharmacopuncture, 2022 Antivenom serums have been used extensively for over a century and are the only effective treatment option for snake bites and other dangerous animal envenomations. In therapeutic serum centers, a wide range of antivenoms is made from animal serum, mainly equine and sheep, that are immunized with single or multiple venoms.

Revisiting lycopene extraction: Caprylic acid-based emulsion for the highest recovery. [PDF]
J Food Sci Technol, 2022 In this study, we evaluated the caprylic acid-based oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion-assisted extraction of lycopene from tomatoes. Emulsion-assisted extraction was performed using two types of micron-sized O/W emulsions: (a) O/W emulsion with absence or (b) presence of 0.1% (w/w) of Tween 20 emulsifier. This green extraction technique was compared with the
