Description

General description

Methyl myristate is a fatty acid methyl ester commonly used as a flavoring essence.
It is one of the main:

phytochemical constituent of Cycas Beddomei cones
volatile flavor component of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) tea

Application

Modulating the hydrophobicity of cellulose by lipase-catalyzed transesterification.: This research discusses the use of methyl myristate for modifying cellulose properties through enzymatic processes, which can be crucial for developing hydrophobic materials for various industrial applications (Sharma et al., 2024).

Biosynthesis of insect sex pheromone precursors via engineered β-oxidation in yeast.: Demonstrates the synthesis of methyl myristate in yeast as a precursor to pheromones, suggesting its potential in bioengineering for sustainable agricultural practices (Petkevicius et al., 2022).
