Cornmint oil is obtained from flowering tops and leaves of Mentha canadensis L. (M. arvensis L., Japanese mint, Lamiaceae), yield of 0.5-2%. The content of menthol achieved 90% of the oil. Menthol is partly separated by crystallization and the remaining oil has appearance and odor resembling peppermint oil. The oil is used as a cheap alternative to peppermint oil, but easily recognized organoleptically because of its harsh flavor. Commint oil can be used in herbal blends and liquor flavors. Menthol obtained from the oil is mainly used in dmg and cigarette production. 

The oil distilled in America and Europe is derived from varieties of Mentha pwerita, chiefly Mentha piperita, var. vulga/ris or hlack mint, and Mentha piperita, var. officinalis or white mint . The former is the hardier plant and yields the greater quantity of oil, whilst the latter yields less oil, but of more delicate odour and flavour. The parent plant of Japanese peppermint is Mentha arvensis, var. piperascetis Holmes, or Mentha canadensis, var. piperascens Briquet, which yields an oil much inferior to that of Mentha piperita.
