Monopelargonin
Monopelargonin is the monoester of glycerol and pelargonic (nonanoic) acid.
C9 glycerides contain mono-, di- and triglycerides and are mainly applied through feed or emulsified liquids.

Main functions
Antibacterial support
The C9 fatty-acid moiety can contribute membrane-active inhibition of selected bacteria.
Broad-spectrum blend support
Adds an odd-chain component that may complement adjacent C8 and C10 monoglycerides.
Microbial-balance support
Can help reduce intestinal microbial pressure within a multi-component program.
Energy contribution
Released nonanoate can be absorbed and oxidized as a medium-chain energy substrate.
Feed-hygiene support
May contribute to preservation-oriented glyceride blends, subject to formulation-specific testing.
Typical Uses by Industry
Animal feed
Liquid feed or drinking water only where the commercial formulation is validated for dispersion and stability
Technical note: Published livestock data are limited; antimicrobial and performance claims should be supported by product-level challenge studies.
