| Description |
Nutmeg Myristica frangrans Houtt is a very important tree spice, having both industrial and medicinal applications. Nut and mace are commercially important spice products. It is also a unique spice, which causes hallucination if consumed in large quantities. The nutmeg plants maintained at IISR experimental farm, Peruvannamuzhi contained 2-12% oil in nut, 3-15% in mace and 0.5-2% in the leaf. Myristicin and elemicin, two constituents of the oil, known to cause hallucination are present in all the three parts. The concentration of these constituents vary widely in these three parts.
