To be sure, is this fatty acid classified as a SCFA (short-chain fatty acid) or a MCFA (medium-chain fatty acid)? Of course this determination has to be consistent with the precise definitions of these two groups of fatty acids. The definitions are essentially separated by the threshold of the number of carbon atoms in the aliphatic tail at which point a fatty acid's classification goes from being short-chain to being medium-chain. As such, the precise definition of which carbon atoms constitute the aliphatic tail, and which reside outside of it, is also of concern. --IO Device (talk) 03:12, 22 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

The Health Hazard Code (blue) of 3, "Short exposure could cause serious temporary or moderate residual injury", isn't discussed in the context of Caproic Acid being consumed as a dietary supplement. Is this dose-related? At what point does Caproic Acid become toxic? The LD50 seems high for a really toxic substance. Or is this Fire Diamond for a different chemical? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.112.121.67 (talk) 18:48, 19 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
A discussion is taking place to address the redirect 1-Pentane carboxylic acid. The discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 October 18#1-Pentane carboxylic acid until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
