Nutmeg powder is a natural botanical ingredient available as a dry seed kernel of Myristica fragrans, a type of tree that is an evergreen tree, which is native to tropical areas, especially Southeast Asia. It is usually prepared by harvesting nutmeg seeds that have grown into full maturity, extracting the outer shell, drying the kernels under controlled conditions carefully, and finally milling them into a fine powder without using chemical solvents, hence the kernels retain the natural aromatic characteristics of the plant. The completed powder typically appears in a light brown to warm tan appearance and exists as a dry, free-flowing powder that has a typical warm, slightly sweet, and spicy aroma. Volatile oils include myristicin, elemicin, and safrole that are the main active components, and naturally occurring phenolic compounds and aromatic terpenes that all interact to give it its characteristic sensory characteristics. In a functional sense, it can be utilized mainly as a flavoring, fragrance, and formulation-enhancing constituent rather than being used as a form of medicine. It has extensive application in a wide variety of industries such as the food and beverage industry as a spice and flavor additive in baked goods, sauces, beverages, and seasonings; the nutraceutical and dietary ingredient industry to be used in general formulations targeting plant-based ingredients; the cosmetic and personal care industry to be used as a fragrance or botanical ingredient in creams, soaps, and oral care products; and the animal feed and specialty ingredient industries where natural flavor profiles are needed.
