What is L-MENTHYL ACETATE?
Chemical properties
Colorless liquid; menthol-like odor.Slightly soluble in water; miscible with alcohol and ether. Combustible.
Chemical properties
l-Menthyl acetate has a fresh odor similar to mint and rose (on dilution). It has a characteristic, fresh, pungent flavor, different from menthol (being much milder). It has a cool mouthfeel with only a trace of mint flavor.
Occurrence
Reported as a normal constituent of peppermint oil in varying amounts, depending on the source; the synthetic product is optically levorotatory; the commercial product is optically inactive.
The Uses of L-MENTHYL ACETATE
L-Menthyl Acetate is a component of essential oils extracted from natural sources.
The Uses of L-MENTHYL ACETATE
Perfumery, flavoring.
Preparation
By reacting acetic anhydride with menthol in the presence of anhydrous sodium acetate.
Definition
ChEBI: (+/-)-Menthyl acetate is a p-menthane monoterpenoid.
Taste threshold values
Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: tea-like, cooling and fruity
Biochem/physiol Actions
Taste at 25 ppm
Safety Profile
Mildly toxic by ingestion. A skin irritant. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
