An Aroma Chemical Profile: Menthol

L-menthol can be described as unique for its cooling sensation on the skin and mucous membranes. Although other materials are known to display this cooling effect, almost all of them are derivatives of l-menthol.

The new synthetic menthol plant of Haarmann & Reimer

This new plant is in continuous production, producing only l-menthol. The total employment at this plant is 49, with 32 people in production. These 32 operate the plant 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The process is a very intricate and complicated series of completely continuous operations combined with automatic sequencing batch processes.

Menthol and Cornmint Oil from China

This article looks at the current supply situation and draws some conclusions about the future availability of these products from China.

Chemical Characterization of Cornmint Oils

In this paper, we list the main constituents and their concentrations, we give a detailed analysis of one of the Indian oils, and we discuss the isolation of L-menthol from the oils by slow crystallization.

Carvone

An aroma chemical profile: carvone. The basic organic chemical structure of the carvones is similar to that of the menthols and menthones. Thus, it is not surprising to discover a distinct organoleptic impression for each optical antipode. However, the organoleptic impressions are not similar to menthol or menthone, nor do the carvones display the cooling effect of menthol.

Natural Products and Their Sources

Our subject is the future supplies of natural raw materials for the essential oil industry. We might divide these raw materials roughly into three groups: 1) those that serve as raw materials in the production of isolates, competing head-on with synthetics and including citronella, lemongrass, menthol, and clove leaf; 2) those that can be replaced by synthetic oils, such as anis, rose, fir needle, geranium, citrus oils, sandalwood mint oils, and floral extractives; 3) those that are not threatened by replacements–at least for the present– including cedarwood, eucalyptus, guaiaewood, lavandin, ocotea, petitgrain, patchouli, vetivert, and ylang.
