mace oils produced by supercritical CO2 extraction - comparison with
steam distilled oils - comparison of East Indian, West Indian and Papuanan

Abstract
Nutmeg and mace oils, produced by supercritical CO2 extraction, are now increasingly traded.
Unlike the steam distilled oils, no information about their composition is
published. Supercritical CO2 nutmeg
and mace extracts from East Indies, West Indies and Papua were analysed by HPLC
for myristicin, safrole, elemicin, eugenol, methyleugenol, isoeugenol,
methylisoeugenol, methoxyeugenol and isoelemicin and were very similar to
steam-distilled oils from the same batch. East Indian, West Indian and Papuan
oils displayed clear differences in their composition and could be clearly
characterized by HPLC. The dominating aromatic ether in the East Indian oils
was myristicin, in West Indian elemicin, in Papuan safrole.
