Myristic acid (tetradecanoic acid) is a long-chain saturated fatty acid of 14 carbon atoms. Palm kernel oil
and coconut oil contain myristic acid; however, nutmeg oil is the richest source of myristic acid, with concentration ranging from 65-75%.
Some marine microalgae, such as Skeletonema costatum contain myristic acid in a relatively good quantity.
In macroalgae, myristic acid content varies with algal species and usually ranges from 2 to 15%.
Myristic acid can serve as an energy source. It plays a crucial cellular function as a lipid anchor for protein through myristoylation.
Myristoylated proteins are involved in the signal transduction cascade. The potential application of myristic acid in the food
industry is to improve the flavour of food. Myristic acid is also used in skin cleansers and shaving creams due to its foaming and emulsifying
properties.
Myristic acid also exhibits potential antimicrobial activity. Incorporating myristic acid into feed resulted in the inhibition of the growth of methanogens
in the rumen and reduced methane production by ruminant livestock.
