Applications
In the pharmaceutical industry, biologics (human blood albumin) contain sodium caprylate as an inactive ingredient. Biologically advanced salts are commonly used for special breeding of strains, the reason why salts are used is that they are more soluble than the advanced acids themselves. And the PH is better adjusted. For example, when breeding bacteria that can degrade caprylate, sodium caprylate is added to the medium.
