Test Report – Volatile Compound Screening of Oleoresin Extracted from Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt) Seed Distillation Waste

The sample was analyzed using GC-MS/MS with a Dynamic Headspace method. Ten compounds were identified based on their mass spectral profiles and comparison with the NIST library.

The identified compounds included 3-cyclohexen-1-ol, 4-methyl-1-(1-methylethyl)-, (R)-, α-terpineol, safrole, eugenol, trans-isomyristicin, benzene, 1,2,3-trimethoxy-5-(2-propenyl)-, phenol, 2,6-dimethoxy-4-(2-propenyl)-, 2-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-propylphenyl)ethanamine, (1S,2R)-2-(4-allyl-2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propyl acetate, and desmethylnomifensine. The reported concentrations ranged from 1.89% to 26.29%, with the highest concentrations observed for the (1S,2R)-2-(4-allyl-2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propyl acetate (26.29%) and trans-isomyristicin (26.04%).
