Product Introduction
Asian peppermint oil is an essential oil obtained from Mentha arvensis, commonly known as field mint or Japanese mint. It is rich in menthol, which gives it a characteristic cooling effect and strong minty aroma. This oil is widely used in various industries, including cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals.
Production Process
The production of Asian peppermint oil begins with harvesting fresh Mentha arvensis leaves, which are then washed and dried. The essential oil is extracted through steam distillation, where steam passes through the plant material, carrying volatile compounds. The resulting vapor is condensed, separating the oil from water. The crude oil undergoes filtration and purification before packaging.
