Myristica fragrans Houtt. Produces two spices, nutmeg and mace. Fat content, fatty acid and amino acid profiles were evaluated in M.fragrans, M.andamanica, M.malabarica, M.magnifica, M.amygdalina, M.beddomeii, M.prainii and Knema andamanica. Fat content in nutmeg ranged from 28 to 38% and in mace, it ranged from 23 to 26 %. Yield of nut/plant does not correlate with nut and mace fat recovery. While myristica acid dominate in the nut of M.beddomeii and M.prainii, mace of myristica fragrans contains high palmitic acid. Total amino acid content was highest in M.pranii. Among the amino acids, phenylalanine dominates in all Myristica species and Knama andamanica has high alanine and theeonine. Fatty acids of nutmeg and mace and amino acids of leaf were evaluated to establish the variability among the species
