1848Brande Man. Chem. 1263 Nutmeg butter consists of three fatty substances, two of which are soluble, but the third nearly insoluble in common alcohol; this latter has been termed Myristine; when purified..it may be rendered nearly colorless and inodorous, and is then a compound of glycerine with myristic acid. Ibid., Myristate of potassa,..Myristate of baryta. 1868Fownes' Chem. (ed. 10) 730 Myristic Acid..occurs as a glyceride in Nutmeg-butter and Otoba fat. Ibid. 731 The myristates of the alkali-metals..are soluble in water.
So myˈristicene, the terpene obtained from volatile oil of nutmeg. myˈristicin: see quots. myˈristicol, an oxygenated oil forming the chief constitutent of volatile oil of nutmeg. myˈristin, the glyceride of myristic acid. myˈristone, a crystalline substance obtained by the distillation of calcium myristate.
