  • How is nutmeg extracted?
  • Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houttuyn) was extracted with liquid carbon dioxide at 90 bar and 23.0°C. The seed is rich in essential and fatty oils, with myristicin and myristic acid being the characteristic compounds in each group respectively. Coextraction of essential oil and fatty oil was observed, and extraction curves for each were obtained.
  • How is nutmeg essential oil extracted?
  • The essential oil was obtained by Clevenger-type hydrodistillation from the disintegrated nutmeg seed (hydromodulus 1:15 m/V, extraction time 180 minutes). The qualitative and quantitative chemical composition of the nutmeg essential oil was determined by GC/MS and GC/FID analysis.
  • Is nutmeg oil more dense than Talau oil?

The red aril mace and the nutmeg are used widely as a food flavouring.
  • Is nutmeg essential oil a good antioxidant?
  • Twenty-five compounds were identified in the nutmeg essential oil and the most abundant was monoterpene hydrocarbon sabinene (42.3 %). The antioxidant activity was spectrophotometrically examined by using DPPH assay. The nutmeg essential oil showed a good antioxidant activity after incubation (EC50 = 1.35 ± 0.003 mg/ml).
