A myristate is a salt or ester of myristic acid. Myristic acid is named after the nutmeg ''Myristica fragrans''. ==Occurrence== Nutmeg butter has 75% trimyristin, the triglyceride of myristic acid. Besides nutmeg, myristic acid is also found in palm kernel oil, coconut oil, butter fat and is a minor component of many other animal fats.〔 It is also found in spermaceti, the crystallized fraction of oil from the sperm whale. It is also found in the rhizomes of the Iris, including Orris root.〔Council of Europe, August 2007 〕〔John Charles Sawer 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「myristic acid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
