General description

Ethyl myristate is a long-chain fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE) which is used as a biochemical marker of excessive alcohol consumption.

Application

Ethyl myristate may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte as an alcohol biomarker in dried blood spots and hair samples by chromatography based techniques. Ethyl myristate may also be used as an analytical standard in the determination of the analyte in selected beer flavors by stir bar sorptive extraction and solvent back extraction.
