🔬 C8 Esterase Detection Mechanism
Salmon-Caprylate undergoes esterase-catalyzed hydrolysis at the C8 (caprylate) ester bond, releasing 6-chloro-3-indoxyl which rapidly oxidizes to form a distinctive salmon-red precipitate:
6-Chloro-3-indolyl caprylate + H₂O
↓ (C8 Esterase/Lipase)
6-Chloro-3-indoxyl + Caprylic acid
↓ (Spontaneous oxidation)
Salmon-Red Indigoid Precipitate
↓ (C8 Esterase/Lipase)
6-Chloro-3-indoxyl + Caprylic acid
↓ (Spontaneous oxidation)
Salmon-Red Indigoid Precipitate
Specificity: Detects C8 esterase activity - diagnostic marker for Salmonella and select Pseudomonas species
🧬 Clinical & Food Safety Applications
