Essentia.1 Oils. Essential oils (qv) are extracted from the flower, leaf, bark, fmit peel, or root of a plant to produce flavors such as mint, lemon, orange, clove, cinnamon, and ginger. These volatile oils are removed from plants either via steam distillation, or using the cold press method, which avoids heat degradation. Additional processing is sometimes employed to remove the unwanted elements from the oils, such as the terpenes in citms oils which are vulnerable to oxidation (49,50). [Pg.440]

Menthol smells like mint and creates a soothing and sometimes tingling sensation when it touches the skin. Scientists theorize that menthol creates the cooling sensation by triggering the same receptors on skin that tell the body s nerves to respond to cold temperatures. [Pg.437]

All eight isomers possess characteristic minty odours. The reason for the importance of /-menthol is its ability to interact, not only with odour receptors, but also with the receptors which sense cold. The presence of menthol will induce cold receptors to respond as if they had sensed a drop in temperature. This physiologically induced sensation of cold is used in many products from foodstuffs, such as confectionery, chewing gum, through oral care products such as toothpaste to cosmetic preparations such as shaving products. There is therefore a large market for menthol and, since not all of it can be met from natural mint oils, a demand for synthetic material. Consequently, there has been a lot of work on the synthesis of menthol and all of the synthetic routes considered must take stereochemistry into account as /-menthol is always the preferred target. [Pg.84]

Herbal medicines are any plants or plant extracts used for treating ailments, aches, pain, or discomfort. They can range from culinary remedies (like chicken soup for the common cold), to calming extracts (like mint tea), to eating whole herbs.

Even as far back as five thousand years ago, humans were using herbal medicines, as evidenced by herbs being found alongside well-preserved, mummified humans like Otzi the Iceman. [Pg.6]

The oil from corn mint is up to 85% (-)-menthol. It occurs naturally in peppermint oil. The ability of menthol to chemically trigger the cold-sensitive receptors in the skin is responsible for the well-known cooling sensation it provokes when inhaled, eaten, or applied to the skin. [Pg.711]

Peppermint oil is obtained from flowering tops and leaves of Menta x piperita L. (herbaceous perennial plant, Lamiaceae), yield of 0.3-0.7%. The oil is a colorless, pale yellow or pale greenish-yellow liquid. It has a characteristic mint odor and taste followed by the sensation of cold. It is used to give a peppermint flavor to a wide range of applications, at first as flavor additives in bubble gum and toothpaste. It is also used in mint and herbal blends and in liquor and sweets flavors. [Pg.170]
