Botanical name :
Mentha ×piperita L.
Synonyms : Mentha aquatica f. piperita (L.) G.Mey. // Mentha officinalis L
Botanical profile :
Mint is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family and the genus Mentha.
Chemotypes :
There are more than 30 varieties of mint, all of which grow in the temperate and subtropical regions of the globe.
In perfumery, it is possible to find several of these varieties that can be grouped according to their major components:
The Carvone mints: Spearmint EO (Mentha spicata), horse mint EO (Mentha longifolia).
The Menthol mints: Peppermint EO (Mentha piperita), Corn Mint EO (Mentha arvensis).
The Pulegone mints: Pennyroyal EO (Mentha pulegium).
The Linalool mints: Bergamot Mint EO (Mentha citrata), also called ''Eau de cologne mint ''.
Spearmint EO is olfactorily the greenest and the most alimentary. It is also used for crossings, giving birth to Peppermint EO, associating it with the so-called water mint (Mentha aquatica). Mint is one of the plants with the easier hybridization: planting two mints side by side is enough to create a new variety.
Extraction process :
Mint gets its essential oil from its leaves. When growing, it is usually possible to make two harvests on each foot. The plants are mown right before they bloom, and dried for 2 to 4 hours.
The essential oil is extracted by steam distillation for about 2 hours. It is collected in an essencier by decantation, at the refrigerant outlet, with a yield of about 0.8 to 2.5%.
Other comments :
It is believed that the word ''mint '' comes from a Greek legend of the nymph Minthe, who caught the attention of Hades. Hades's wife, Persephone, who was jealous, allegedly attacked Minthe and locked her in a mint.
This variety allows a L-Menthol isolation by crystallization, since it contains 40 to 50%. According to ancient writings, it would seem that the Japanese were the first to distil mint to collect L-Menthol.
