Application:	Description of Ewiss cheese, a new ewe′s milk cheese processed by Swiss cheese manufacturing techniques: microbiological, physicochemical and sensory aspects.: This study details the production of Ewiss cheese, focusing on the microbiological and physicochemical properties, including the use of myristic acid in enhancing flavor and texture profiles (Garofalo et al., 2024 ). Experiments and Molecular Simulations to Study the Effect of Surface-Active Compounds in Mixtures of Model Oils on CO2 Corrosion during Intermittent Oil-Water Wetting.: Investigates how myristic acid, as a surface-active compound, influences CO2 corrosion mechanisms in oil-water systems, offering insights into corrosion prevention strategies in the oil industry (Norooziasl et al., 2024 ).
Biochem/physiol Actions:	Myristic acid is a straight-chain 14-carbon fatty acid. Diets rich in myristic acid, along with lauric and palmitic acids, are associated with increased serum levels of low densisity lipoprotein cholesterol.
Packaging:	10, 100, 500 g in poly bottle
