What is METHYL MYRISTATE?
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
clear colorless to yellowish liquid
Chemical properties
Methyl myristate has a faint onion, honey and orris-like odor and a corresponding flavor at trace levels.
The Uses of METHYL MYRISTATE
Methyl myristate may be used as an intermediate polarity oil component of oil-in-water, especially “Pickering-type”, emulsions.
The Uses of METHYL MYRISTATE
Intermediate for myristic acid detergents, emul-sifiers, wetting agents, stabilizers, resins, lubricants,plasticizers, textiles, animal feeds, standard for gaschromatography, flavoring.
The Uses of METHYL MYRISTATE
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.
The Uses of METHYL MYRISTATE
Methyl myristate finds limited use in perfume compositions, not only in Orris bases with Ionones, but also in Mimosa, Cassie, Tuberose, Honey-suckle, etc. It performs well in powder perfumes with musks and Methylionones. The ester finds some use in flavor compositions, mainly in Honey and a few types of fruit flavor. The concentration is normally only traces, or from 0.2 to 2 ppm.
Definition
