Botanical Name of Raw Material: Myrystica fragrans Houtt
Nutmeg tree, a species under Myrystica fragrans Houtt, produces two separate spices – Nutmeg and Mace. Nutmeg is the dried kernel of the seed and Mace is the dried aril surrounding it. Mace essential oil is obtained by the steam distillation of dried aril of Myrystica fragrans Houtt. The oil is a pale yellow to reddish yellow liquid, with a sweet, spicy and slightly woody undernote. The oil is mainly used for flavouring preparations, especially in soft drink formulations. The main components are pinenes, Sabenene, Terpineol and Myristicin.
Further customisations are possible.
Steam distillation is the technical process applied to recover the heat sensitive compounds from spices. Spice oils are unstable and heat sensitive compounds are present in the spice.

These oils are generally recovered by directly applying steam to raw materials followed by condensation of the distillate. The temperature of the steam needs to be carefully controlled – just enough to force the plant material to let go of the Mace essential oil, yet not too hot as to burn the plant material or the Mace oil.
