Chemical evaluation of oil from Mentha arvensis Part-1 - Exraction and Chemical assay of oil
Pazir Gul and F. W. Khan
ABSTRACT
Yield, physico - Chemical constants and chemical
composition of oil from the leaves of Mentha arvensis.,
were determined. The results obtained were compared with
those of oil from Mentha piperita L; Mintha piperita
var. Vulgaris and Mintha arvensis. It was observed that
this oil was of fair standard and could be used for
flavouring pharmaceuticals tooth pastes, dental cream,
cough drops and alcoholic leqururs like those oils from
other Mintha spp. Further work in the other aspects of
this problem is in progress.
