1 This Standard covers two types of Oil of Mentha arvensis L. namely Type 1 Whole oil, and Type 2 Partially Dementholized oil. Type 1 Whole Oil of Mentha arvensis L, is primarily used all over the world as a natural raw material for the production of menthol. Type 2, Partially Dementholised Oil, is a by-product obtained during the process of producing Menthol crystals, which after rectification is used in pharmacy and also as a flavouring material in the preparation of dental pastes, powders and mouth washes.
2 In this revision, the gas chromatographic method has been upgraded from Packed Column GC to Capillary Column GC for more accurate results, which are being progressively used in the country. The requirements of free alcohols, esters, total alcohols and ketones for dementholized oil have been modified in this revision as per the quality of the oil produced and currently available in the market.
