8006-90-4 - Nature:

• peppermint oil is colorless or light yellow transparent liquid, with strong mint aroma, soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform and other organic solvents. The relative density is 0.895 ~ o.909, the refractive index is 1. 459~1.470, and the specific rotation is -30.~37.4. 

• The menthol present in the peppermint oil is I-type and is a colorless transparent crystal. The I-menthol has a boiling point of 216 ℃, a melting point of 42~43 ℃, a relative density of 0.9007 and a refractive index of 1. 4610. Peppermint oil is a light yellow transparent liquid with the cool aroma of peppermint and a light bitter taste. The relative density was 0.8900~0.9100, refractive index was 1. 4580~1.4710, optical rotation was -18. ~ 24.. 

• can also be isolated from peppermint oil menthone, it can also be prepared by the oxidation of menthol, menthone is colorless transparent liquid, melting point -6 ℃, boiling point 207 ℃, flash point 77 ℃. Menthyl acetate is also present in the peppermint oil. Menthyl acetate is colorless or light yellow liquid, with soft aroma, cool and spicy feeling, boiling point 227~228 ℃, flash point 92 ℃, optical rotation (type I) -72. ~-73. 

8006-90-4 - Preparation Method:

A series of peppermint oil products can be produced from whole mint grass. 

8006-90-4 - Use:

mint oily cool flavor Xin, can be used as wind-repellent, aromatic stomach medicine and cooling agent. Menthol oxidation can produce menthone, menthol in medicine can be lozenges, cooling oil, painkillers and mouthwash. Peppermint oil can be used to reconstitute menthol, and can also be used directly as a flavor in beverages and toothpastes.
