    Myristoleic acid is a long chain fatty acid and tetradecenoic acid. Myristoleic acid also known as 9-tetradecenoic acid is an omega-5 fatty acid and a conjugate of myristeolate. It is biosynthesized from myristic acid by enzyme stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 but is considered to be rare in nature. The major source of Myristoleic acid is seed oil from plants belonging to family Myristicaceae which comprises about 30 percent of oil in some species.
