The microwave-assisted variant of the "Isolation of trimyristin from nutmeg" is an experiment of medium difficulty. For an extraction of a product from natural sources the yield depends heavily on the quality of the biological raw material and thus cannot be evaluated easily. The purity of the product is very high.

Also mass efficiency and energy efficiency cannot be easily evaluated because they depend on the yield.

Although (eco)toxicological data are not sufficient for an evaluation of educt and product, acute or chronic toxicity cannot be reasonably expected, because the educt has been used as a spice for hundreds of years and the product is usable as a foodstuff. The known toxicity of nutmeg is not based on its trimyristin content. The extraction solvent ethanol is of low acute toxicity and is chronically toxic only with oral ingestion of larger amounts. .

All substances used in the experiment have a low environmental persistence and also a low toxicity to aquatic organisms .

Summed up we evaluate this experiment with a low economic efficiency and low (eco)toxicological risks as well as a low environmental persistence for most of the substances with the "green light".
