I've asked the client for clarification, I'll let you know! Thanks to both!!

Yeah, seems more logical, now that you mention, that the 16 would be a typo for 14. And even I, in my first hidden response, kept typing mysterin instead of myristin. Ilke's best bet is to change it to 14 and insert a translator's note.

neither did I, but I was just like you intrigued by this word 'mysterine' which is close to 'mysterieën' :-)

things need to be 'logical' and this guides my search and thoughts

the first thing I did was finding out about the components of coconut oil and myristic acid was actually one of them

the problem was 'c-16' versus 'c-14', it took some time to solve this 'mystery' :-)

it means there are actually 2 errors in the text:

'c-16' --> should be 'c-14'
and 'mysterine' (unfortunately :-)) --> should be 'myristine'

I totally didn't know that.

Bryan, 'cetyl myristoleate' is not an option
It's chemical formula is C30H58O2, while 'mysterine' has, at least according to the text, 16 Cs not 30
cetyl myristoleate is a cetyl ester of myristoleic acid
'myristoleic acid' (C14H26O2) is biosynthesized from myristic acid by the enzyme delta-9 desaturase
the chemical formula of myristic acid is C14H28O2

I assume 'laurine' is identical to 'laurinezuur', 'caprine' to 'caprinezuur'

however you find at Amanprana also 'c-14' for 'mysterine' (rather than c-16)

MCT 55,7% (c-8 capryl: 3,6%, c-10 caprine: 3,5%, c-12 laurine: 48,6%). LCT 26,9% (c-14 mysterine: 16,3%, c-16 palmitine

so I think Ilke is right, that is:

mysterine = myristine = myristinezuur

Naast de nootmuskaat wordt myristinezuur ook gevonden in palmolie, kokosolie ...
