METHYL MYRISTATE Usage And Synthesis

Description

Methyl myristate has a honey and orris-like odor with a corresponding flavor at trace levels. May be prepared by direct esterification of methanol with myristic acid in the presence of gaseous HCL.

Chemical Properties

Methyl myristate has a faint onion, honey and orris-like odor and a corresponding flavor at trace levels.

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to yellowish liquid

Uses

Intermediate for myristic acid detergents, emul-sifiers, wetting agents, stabilizers, resins, lubricants,plasticizers, textiles, animal feeds, standard for gaschromatography, flavoring.

Uses

Methyl myristate may be used as an intermediate polarity oil component of oil-in-water, especially “Pickering-type”, emulsions.

Uses

Methyl myristate may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the anayte in Mentha piperita?L. extract using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry.

Preparation

By direct esterification of methanol with myristic acid in the presence of gaseous HCl.

Definition

Themethyl ester of myristic acid.

Taste threshold values

Reported found in violet roots, apple, banana, bilberry, grapes, papaya, blackberry, strawberry, chive, tomato, cheeses, milk powder, smoked fish, cocoa, tea, coconut oil, passion fruit, beans, mushroom, Bantu beer, plum and apple brandy, rhubarb, buckwheat, Bourbon vanilla, mountain papaya, cooked shrimp, turnip, Chinese cabbage, clam, mussels, cape gooseberry and pawpaw.
