Characterization of Myristicin isolated from nutmeg oil has been done. The study was started by isolating the nutmeg oil from the nutmeg using steam distillation for 8 hours, yield 2.40% of nutmeg oil. The isolation of myristicin from nutmeg oil by fractional distillation under reduced pressure, yield 8.02% of myristicin with 100% of purity. The purity was determinated using GC and the structure elucidation was analyzed by FTIR, 1H-NMR, and MS spectromecters
