| Description |
Mace from Myristica fragrans Houtt. is one of the most expen¬sive of spices. Mace tissue could be successfully multiplied on Me Cown's Woody Plant Medium (WPM) supplemented with 0.5 mg 1' of IBA. The multiplied tissue retained both the colour and flavour components even after 2 months of culture indicating that their biosynthesis is continuing in culture. Gas chromato¬graphic analysis of the mace oil extracted from the cultured tissue was similar to that of original mace in its qualitative profile.
