Thesynthesis was started by isolation of nutmeg oil with steam distillation for 8 hours. It yields was 308 mL ofnutmeg oil. The isolation trimyristin from nutmeg with maseration using chloroform yields trimirystin 17 g(11%), structure elusidation of these products was analized by FTIR and 1H-NMR. The synthesis methylesterusing CaO catalyst and methanol yields 1,78 g (89,02%) of methyl myristate. Product purity was tested by GCand structure elusidation was analized by FTIR and MS. ER -
