General description

Tridecanoic acid is an aliphatic monoacid. It is complexed to β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) for structural studies. It can exist in three polymeric forms(A′, B′ and C′) when crystallized.

Application

Tridecanoic acid has been used as an internal standard for the lipid analysis of total intramuscular fat from broilers and fatty acid analysis in chinook salmon roe lipids. It has also been used as a reference standard in gas chromatography for quantifying fatty acids in meat samples.
