Virola surinamensis

contains lauric, palmitic and myristic acid (trimerystin : more than 70%)
Ucuuba seeds contain a lot of fat (60-70%), of which 70% is trimerystin, a triglyceride of myristic acid and aromatic essential oil, which is of great importance for the cosmetics, pharmaceutical and food industries. Currently, trimerystin is obtained from nutmeg (Myristica fragrans), which contains trimerystin in a concentration of about 80%.
