Chapter 25: Q1P. (page 1303)

Question: Trimyristin, a solid fat present in nutmeg, is hydrolyzed to give one equivalent of glyceroland three equivalents of myristic acid. Give the structure of trimyristin.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Trimyristin is an ester havingthe formula C45H86O6 .It comes under the category of saturated fat and is a triglyceride of myristic acid.
