Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, stirring frequently. Remove the top pan from the heat when the chocolate is almost completely melted, and stir in the peppermint extract. 

You ll need two double boilers or two microwave-safe bowls to make these pretty cookies. In one double boiler, melt the white chocolate chips, I stick of the butter, and V2 teaspoon of the peppermint extract. In the other, melt the semisweet chocolate chips, the remaining I stick butter, and the remaining V2 teaspoon peppermint extract. Taste both glazes to make sure they have enough peppermint kick in them. 

The LDgQ of orally administered peppermint leaf oil in mice is 2.4 g/kg, and in rats is 4.4 g/kg (Della Loggia et al. 1990). No toxic effects were observed after mice were administered 4 g/kg of a peppermint extract (Della Loggia et al. 1990).

Volatile oils obtained from peppermint, corn-mint, and other mint species have antimicrobial, antimalarial and antigiradial activities in vitro. Peppermint extracts have been reported to have antiviral activities against Newcastle disease, herpes simplex, vaccinia, Sem-liki Forest, and West Nile viruses in egg and cell culture systems (see babn) The ethyl acetate extract of Moroccan M. longifolia was also found to possess inhibitory activity against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. ... 

Add cautiously 15 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid to 50 ml. of water in a 100 ml. distilling-flask, and then add 10 g. of pinacol hydrate. Distil the solution slowly. When about 40 ml. of distillate (consisting of pinacolone and water) have been collected, and no more pinacolone comes over, extract the distillate with ether. Dry the extract over sodium sulphate. Distil the dry filtered extract carefully, with the normal precautions for ether distillation (p. 164). When the ether has been removed, continue the distillation slowly, rejecting any fraction coming over below 100 . Collect the pinacolone, b.p. 106 , as a colourless liquid having a peppermint odour. Yield, 4 5-5 o g. A small quantity of higher-boiling material remains in the flask. 

Phyto chemicals can be used to either stimulate or inhibit motility of the GIT. For example, caffeine and other phytochemicals stimulate motility (Lis-Balchim etal, 2001 Boekema et al, 1999), whereas motility is slowed by peppermint oil (Beesley et al, 1996), protease inhibitors (Schwartz et al., 1994) and several other phytochemicals (Abdullahi et al, 2001 Odetola and Acojenu, 2000 Rojas et al, 1999 Amos et al, 1998). Many of the traditional herbal medicines used for treatment of diarrhea are based on aqueous extracts that slow small intestine transit and increase residence time for digesta (Lin et al, 2002). The opiates and derivatives are particularly noteworthy (Williams et al., 1997). 

Another successful adaptation of the fully extended DFG S19 approach is the determination of, e.g., fenpyroximate in all type of berries by LC/MS/MS with APCI monitoring of positive ions directly in the S19 raw extract, and further the determination of trifluralin by LC/MS/MS with APCI monitoring of negative ions after performing a short SPE cleanup on an ion-exchange material. Similar approaches have used CC/MS/MS for, e.g., fenpropimorph and kresoxim methyl in St. John s Wort and peppermint. 

Peppermint oil is the volatile oil extracted from the fresh leaves of the flowering plant of Mentha piperita via steam distillation. Peppermint oil contains not less than 44% menthol. American peppermint oil contains from 50 to 78% of free /-menthol (Fig. 13.12.1) and from 5 to 20% combined in various es-... 

Natural peppermint contains several components that, if ingested, lead to a cold sensation in the mouth. The best known and best understood is (-)-menthol (IV), which is the dominant component of the peppermint oil extracted from Mentha piperita and M. arvensia. 

It was stated that the chromatographic analysis of the flavonoid profde may help the determination of taxonomic relationships between these species [125], The optimization of the separation of flavonoid glycosides of Mentha piperita (Laminaceae) was carried out on silica, amino, cyano and C18 HPTLC statinoary phases. The investigation was motivated by the spasmolytic, carminative and cholagogue characteristics of the plant. Air-dried and powdered leaves of peppermint (300 g) were extracted with methanol-water 1 1 v/v at ambient temperature. The suspension was filtered, concentrated to 200 ml acidified to pH 3 with formic acid and separated in an ODS column (400 X 40 mm i.d. particle size 40 pm).

Coumarin is a natural product found at high levels in some essential oils, particularly ciimamon leaf oil (40 600 ppm (mg/kg)), ciimamon bark oil (7000 ppm), other types of cinnamon (900 ppm), cassia leaf oil (17 000-87 300 ppm), peppermint oil (20 ppm), lavender oil, woodruff and sweet clover as well as in green tea (0.2-1.7 ppm), fruits such as bilberry and cloudberry and other foods such as chicory root (Boisde Meuly, 1993 TNO, 1996 Lake, 1999). It is also found in Mexican vanilla extracts (Sullivan, 1981 Maries etal, 1987).

The odor of a freshly crushed mint leaf, like many plant odors, is due to the presence in the plant of volatile C10 and Ci5 compounds, which are called terpenes. Isolation of these substances from the various parts of plants, even from the wood in some cases, by steam distillation or ether extraction gives what are known as essential oils. These are widely used in perfumery, as food flavorings and medicines, and as solvents. Among the typical essential oils are those obtained from cloves, roses, lavender, citronella, eucalyptus, peppermint, camphor, sandalwood, cedar, and turpentine. Such substances are of interest to us here because, as was pointed out by Wallach in 1887 and reemphasized by Ruzicka in 1935, the components of the essential oils can be regarded as derived from isoprene ... 

This buttery, super-sweet, sugary icing is quick and easy to make. kou always can substi-tute the vanilla extract for other flavors, such as almond, peppermint, or orange, to give your cake an unexpected twist. 

Note Ifjou like, substitute 1 teaspoon peppermint, almond, or orange extract, or 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder dissolved in 1 tablespoon boiling water, for the vanilla.
