menthyl การใช้

Menthol reacts with chiral carboxylic acids to give diastereomic menthyl esters, which are useful for chiral resolution.
Menthyl acetate constitutes 3-5 % of the volatile oil of " mentha piperita ".
"' Menthyl acetate "'is a natural monoterpene which contributes to the smell and flavor of peppermint.
( " )-Menthol occurs naturally in peppermint oil ( along with a little menthone, the ester menthyl acetate and other compounds ), obtained from " Mentha x piperita ".
In both cases with further processing ( crystallizative entrainment resolution of the menthyl benzoate conglomerate ) it is possible to concentrate the L enantiomer, however this tends to be less efficient, although the higher processing costs may be offset by lower raw material costs.
