PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Methyl tetradecanoate is a fatty acid methyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of tetradecanoic acid (myristic acid) with methanol. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a flavouring agent and a fragrance. It is functionally related to a tetradecanoic acid.
