Description and Uses

Myristic acid is a saturated fatty acid commonly found in animal and vegetable fats that is frequently used in cosmetics, soaps, perfumes, and flavorings. It increases low density lipoprotein cholesterol making it one of the most hypercholesterolemic of the saturated fatty acids. Myristic acid ethyl ester (Ethyl myristate) is a more hydrophobic form of the free acid. It is a marker of excessive ethanol consumption that can be isolated from the hair of an individual.

Ethyl myristate may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte as an alcohol biomarker in dried blood spots and hair samples by chromatography based techniques. Ethyl myristate may also be used as an analytical standard in the determination of the analyte in selected beer flavors by stir bar sorptive extraction and solvent back extraction.
