Enantiomeric Distribution of Oxygenated Monoterpenes in Some Mentha Essential Oils

In this research we analyzed chiral oxgenated monoterpenes, which are the predominant and most valuable monoterpenes in Mentha oils.This technique enables us to determine the enantiomeric purities of other components in the oils, such as monoterpene hydrocarbons and sesquiterpenes

Keynote Address: There is more to taste than meets the tongue

The basic question is “do we need flavors at all?’ I think this is the question that regulatory agencies are asking, The issue of natural vs. artificial is a front.
