Botanical name :
Mentha arvensis L.
Synonyms : Mentha agrestis Hegetschw. // Mentha angustifolia Schreb.
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).
Extraction process :
Mint draws 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 0.5 to 1.2%.
Crystallized L-Menthol can be obtained from a deterpened mint EO (up to 50% weight / weight) as well as a dementholized EO (up to 30% w / w). For that, it is necessary to cool the EO to precipitate the L-Menthol. Then, it is separated by filtration and dried to be conditioned.
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.
Mint is one of the plants with the easier hybridization: planting two mints side by side is enough to create a new variety.
