Laboratory preparations can be saponified with triglyceride (tetradecanoic acid) and 10% sodium hydroxide solution, then acidified with hydrochloric acid to obtain free myristate. It can also be prepared by the tetradecanol method. Mainly used as a raw material for the production of surfactants, used in the production of dehydrated sorbitol fatty acid esters, glycerol fatty acid esters, ethylene glycol or propylene glycol fatty acid esters. It can also be used for the production of isopropyl myristate, etc. It is also used as an antifoam agent and flavor enhancer.?
