Methyl Myristate

Methyl tetradecanoate is a fatty acid methyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of tetradecanoic acid (myristic acid) with methanol. It has a role as a flavouring agent, a fragrance and a plant metabolite. It is functionally related to a tetradecanoic acid. — ChEBI

  • Cosmetic Ingredient Review Finding(s): Safe in the present practices of use and concentration. Ingredient, concentration, and use information are available in documents discoverable at https://cir-reports.cir-safety.org Source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR)
  • Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 1100 was calculated for methyl myristate(SRC) using a log Kow of 6.41(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), the estimated BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high. However, bioconcentration studies on compounds which are structurally similar(4,5) suggests that bioconcentration may be lower than that indicated by the regression-derived equation due to the ability of aquatic organisms to readily metabolize this class of compounds(SRC).

  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 5,400(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that methyl myristate is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC). Volatilization of methyl myristate from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 0.005 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(3). However, adsorption to soil is expected to attenuate volatilization(SRC). Methyl myristate is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 0.00049 mm Hg(4). Methyl myristate is expected to rapidly biodegrade in aerobic soils by analogy to structurally similar long-chain fatty acid esters(5-7). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 5400(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that methyl myristate is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 0.005 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4). Volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 5 hours and 6.2 days, respectively(SRC), using an estimation method(3). However, volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be attenuated by adsorption to suspended solids and sediment in the water column(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model pond is estimated to be about 57 hours ignoring adsorption; when considering maximum adsorption the volatilization half-life increases to 45 days(5). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 540(SRC) from its log Kow of 6.41(12) and a regression-derived equation(7), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high although it may be lower than that indicated due to the expected rapid metabolism rate for long Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), methyl myristate, which has a vapor pressure of 0.00049 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), will exist solely in the vapor phase in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase methyl myristate is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 24 hours(SRC) from its estimated rate constant of 1.6X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3).
