Introduction

Peppermint Oil is a volatile essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the fresh or partially dried leaves and flowering tops of Mentha piperita. It contains a high concentration of menthol and menthone, which together produce its characteristic sharp, refreshing, and cooling flavor.

Peppermint Oil is one of the most widely used essential oils in the global food industry, prized for its versatility and intense flavor impact. It is soluble in alcohol and oils, and can be encapsulated for controlled release in dry mix applications. Food-grade Peppermint Oil is rigorously tested for purity, menthol content, and absence of adulterants.
