Myristicin is a major volatile oil and a flavoring plant constituent, reported to be identified in parsley[1] and nutmeg essential oils,[2] black pepper, carrots, etc.[1] It is reported to produce significant psychopharmacological responses.[3]

Myristicin may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in the following:

• Leaf extracts of parsley, dill, and celery grown in microwave fields using high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC).[1]
• Rat urine samples using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS).[3]
• Human serum samples using gas chromatography (GC) with flame ionization detection (FID).[2]

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
