Spearmint Oil BP Grade:
DEFINITION
Spearmint Oil is obtained by distillation from fresh flowering plants of Mentha spicata L. and Mentha × cardiaca (Gray) Bak
CHARACTERISTICS
A clear, colourless, pale yellow or greenish yellow liquid when recently distilled, but becoming darker and viscous on keeping; visibly free from water; odour, that of spearmint.
IDENTIFICATION
Examine the chromatograms obtained in the test for Chromatographic profile. The retention times of the principal peaks in the chromatogram obtained with solution (1) are similar to those of the principal peaks in the chromatogram obtained with solution (2).
TESTS
Optical rotation: American-type oil, –45° to –60°; Chinese-type oil, –50° to –62°.
Refractive index: 1.484 to 1.491.
Solubility in ethanol: Soluble, at 20°, in 1 part of ethanol (80%). The solution may become cloudy when diluted.
Weight per mL: American-type oil, 0.917 to 0.934 g; Chinese-type oil, 0.935 to 0.952 g.
Chromatographic profile:
The percentages are within the following ranges:
Limonene 2.0 to 25.0%.
Cineole less than 2.5%.
Menthone less than 2.5%.
Isomenthone less than 1.0%.
Menthyl acetate less than 1.0%.
Pulegone less than 0.5%.
Menthol less than 2.0%.
Carvone Not less than 55.0%.
STORAGE
Spearmint Oil should be kept in a well-filled container and protected from light.
LABELLING
The label states whether the oil is American-type oil or Chinese-type oil.
Spearmint Oil FCC Food Grade
CAS: [8008-79-5]
DESCRIPTION
Spearmint Oil occurs as a colorless, yellow, or green-yellow liquid having the characteristic odor and taste of spearmint. It is the volatile oil obtained by steam distillation from the fresh overground parts of the flowering plant Mentha spicata L. (Common Spearmint), or of Mentha cardiaca Gerard ex Baker (Scotch Spearmint) (Fam. Labiatae). It may be rectified by distillation.
Function: Flavoring agent.
REQUIREMENTS
Labeling: Indicate whether it is natural or rectified.
Identification: The infrared absorption spectrum of the sample exhibits relative maxima at the same wavelengths as those of a typical spectrum as shown in the section on Infrared Spectra, using the same test conditions as specified therein.
Assay: Not less than 55.0%, by volume, of ketones.
Angular Rotation: Between −48° and −59°.
Reaction: Passes test.
Refractive Index: Between 1.484 and 1.491 at 20°.
Solubility in Alcohol: Passes test.
Specific Gravity: Between 0.917 and 0.934.
