| Summary: | Trimyristin isolation from the nutmeg and synthesis of methylester using heterogen catalyst has been carried out
in several stages, included isolation of nutmeg oil, trimyristin isolation and synthesis of methylester. The
synthesis was started by isolation of nutmeg oil with steam distillation for 8 hours. It yields was 308 mL of
nutmeg 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 methylester
using CaO catalyst and methanol yields 1,78 g (89,02%) of methyl myristate. Product purity was tested by GC
and structure elusidation was analized by FTIR and MS. |
