Chemistry.

1. caproic acid: a peculiar acid found along with the capric and butyric acids in butter, etc.; chemically also called normal caproic or pentylformic acid; this and iso-caproic or isopentylformic acid being forms of the hexoic acids (C₆H₁₂O₂), the monatomic monobasic or fatty acids of the hexyl series.

1873 H. Watts Fownes's Man. Elem. Chem. (ed. 11) 686 Caproic Acid is produced by the action of alkalis on amyl cyanide.

2. caproic series: the series of chemical compounds allied to caproic acid, or containing the radical caproyl; as caproic alcohol, caproic aldehyde, caproic ethers, etc.
