Mint, oil

Artificial materials include aUphatic, aromatic, and terpene compounds that are made synthetically as opposed to those isolated from natural sources. As an example, ben2aldehyde may be made synthetically or obtained from oil of bitter almond (51) and t-menthol may be made synthetically or isolated from oil of Mentha arvensis var. to give Bra2iUan mint oil or com mint oil. 

The best known oil of the. VoiKirda species is that known as America horse-mint oil, which is obtaLoed to the extent of about 1 per cent, from the herb. 1/oiKirdo pnnr.Lnta. The oil has a specific gravity from 0 930 to O iMO, and is either optically inactive or slightly dextro-rotatory.

Production. Many industrial processes exist for the production of menthols. For (—)-menthol, isolation from peppermint oil (see Mint Oils) competes with partial and total syntheses. When an optically active compound is used as a starting material, optical activity must be retained throughout the synthesis, which generally consists of several steps. Total syntheses or syntheses starting from optically inactive materials require either resolution of racemic mixtures or asymmetric synthesis of an intermediate. Recently used processes are the following ... 

Mint oils are listed in order of the quantities produced. 

Cornmint oil, Japanese mint oil is produced by steam distillation of the flowering herb Mentha arvensis var. piperascens Malinv. The crude oil contains ca. 70% (-)-menthol, which can be isolated by crystallization at low temperature.

The ester number for any essential oil may vary within more or less wide limits (see Table XXXIV), but its determination is of importance in the identification of an oil, the detection of adulteration, and for judging of the quality of the oil. With some oils, the esters represent the odoriferous principle, e.g., linalyl acetate in bergamot, lavender and petit-grain oils, bomyl acetate in pine-needle oil and menthyl acetate in mint oil, the value of these Oils being deduced from the ester content.

Examples of monoterpenes include the linear aldehyde citral, which is found in many essential oils, and the (cis) alcohol geraniol, a major component of oil of geranium. Cyclic monoterpenes include limonene, menthol, pinene, camphor, and carvone, major components of lemon oil, mint oil, turpentine, camphor oil, and caraway oil, respectively. Sesquiterpenes include farnesol, a component of rose oil, and bisabolene, a component of Bisabol myrrh. The diterpenes include phytol, a component of chlorophyll, and vita-... 

Major components and compositions of CO2 extracted and distilled spearmint oils are shown in Table 2. A comparison of composition of the produced spearmint oils with the composition of other mint oils (published in the literature [6]) shows that a very special population was investigated. In particular, carvone and its related compounds and pulegone have been found as main components. Gas chromatografic analysis showed significant differences in composition of the SFE products and the distilled oil. The distilled essential oil contained more dihydrocarvone and less pulegone than the CO2 extracted counterpart. 

From ancient times i qp until modem days herbs and spices have played a dynamic role in our daily lives. When we clean our teeth in the early morning with toothpaste we encounter mint oils. When we wash our bodies and clothes with soaps and detergents we find the essences of rosemary and lavender. At midday and in the evening on the dinner table the smells of spices elevate the appetite. More people than ever are discovering the secrets of great cuisine which rely heavily on herbs and spices. In addition... 

There have been repeated reports of intoxication by still largely unknown phytotoxins liver cell necrosis and cholestasis following the consumption of herbal medicine made from mulberry tree bark (S. Tozuka et al., 1983), liver cell necrosis (even fatal) following the intake of a root extract from the distaff thistle (G. Lemaigre et al., 1975), poisoning by a decoction from Callilepsis laureola (J. Wainwright et al., 1977) and due to mint oil (J.B. Sullivan et al., 1979).
