Trimyristin(Cat No.:R022220)is a naturally occurring triglyceride composed of three myristic acid (tetradecanoic acid) molecules esterified to a glycerol backbone. With the molecular formula C45H86O6, it appears as a white, waxy solid at room temperature. Trimyristin is found primarily in nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) and serves as a storage form of energy in plants. It is used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries as an emollient, thickening agent, and lipid source. In chemical research, trimyristin is also employed as a model compound in the study of lipid hydrolysis and transesterification reactions.
