mentha piperita herb extract america

Mentha piperita herb extract america is a botanical extract obtained from the peppermint plant, Mentha x piperita, widely known for its refreshing minty aroma. This extract is classified as a fragrance ingredient and commonly employed in cosmetic perfuming agents. It presents sensory attributes described as minty odor notes characteristic of peppermint. Known synonyms include peppermint herb extract america and peppermint, American, ext. The chemical and botanical properties of this extract are linked to Mentha piperita species, and detailed chemical information is accessible through the PubChem database. The extract is typically sourced through steam distillation or solvent extraction of peppermint leaves cultivated primarily in temperate regions.

Mentha piperita herb extract america naturally occurs in peppermint leaves, a hybrid species derived from watermint and spearmint. The extract is applied mainly as a fragrance agent in various cosmetic and personal care products due to its characteristic minty aroma. Its use extends to perfuming agents in soaps, lotions, and other scented products. According to IFRA (Global) guidelines, usage levels are regulated to ensure consumer safety. While commonly found in fragrance applications, this specific extract is designated as not for flavor use. The extract’s applicability reflects both its sensory profile and compliance with international fragrance safety standards such as the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation in the European Union.

The extract exhibits key physical and chemical attributes including a dominant minty odor conferred by volatile organic compounds characteristic of Mentha piperita. These compounds are typically moderately volatile and contribute to the extract’s sensory perception in formulations. The chemical profile supports stability under typical formulation conditions, although precise parameters such as boiling point or solubility are variable depending on extraction methods. The extract's physicochemical traits influence its evaporation rate, blending capacity with other fragrance materials, and overall performance in perfuming agents. Its odor intensity and profile make it valuable in scent design where fresh, cooling notes are desired.
