General description

Myristicin is a major volatile oil and a flavoring plant constituent, reported to be identified in parsley and nutmeg essential oils, black pepper, carrots, etc. It is reported to produce significant psychopharmacological responses.

Application

Myristicin may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in the following:
  • Leaf extracts of parsley, dill, and celery grown in microwave fields using high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC).
  • Rat urine samples using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
  • Human serum samples using gas chromatography (GC) with flame ionization detection (FID).

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
