Abstract

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.
