[Identification of nutmeg by thin-layer chromatography and its introduction to Japanese standards for non-pharmacopoeial crude drugs].
When nutmeg was extracted with hot methanol and cooled, much precipitate was produced. The colorless crystals, obtained on recrystallization, were identified as trimyristin by spectroscopic means and by direct comparison with the standard. Then, the identification of nutmeg was established by using the same extraction as above and subjecting the precipitate to thin-layer chromatography. This method was newly introduced to the Standards for Non-pharmacopoeial Crude Drugs.
