Description and Uses

Methyl myristate has a honey and orris-like odor with a corresponding flavor at trace levels. May be prepared by direct esterification of methanol with myristic acid in the presence of gaseous HCL.

Methyl myristate finds limited use in perfume compositions, not only in Orris bases with Ionones, but also in Mimosa, Cassie, Tuberose, Honey-suckle, etc. It performs well in powder perfumes with musks and Methylionones. The ester finds some use in flavor compositions, mainly in Honey and a few types of fruit flavor. The concentration is normally only traces, or from 0.2 to 2 ppm.
