Peppermint does not occur in the wild and is thought to be a hybrid of spearmint and brookmint. The basis of the flavor and pharmaceutical properties of peppermint are the secondary alcohol menthol and its ketone menthone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peppermint is included in the Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation, European countries, the USA and Canada. As a substance, peppermint essential oil is used in remedies for treating the respiratory tract, in sedatives, antispasmodic drugs, to relieve neurotic conditions, increase appetite, and products for external use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peppermint, both fresh and processed, is very widely used in the manufacture of various food products – both for flavoring and to impart the appropriate taste. Peppermint is most commonly used in the manufacture of soft drinks, liqueurs, and candy fillings. Peppermint is an essential ingredient in a number of sauces. Mint flavors green and black tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concentrated 100% CO2 Peppermint Extract is an oily, brownish-yellow, viscous liquid with a pungent, sweetish taste and a very strong menthol aroma with floral and herbal notes. The aroma of 100% CO2 Peppermint Extract differs from that of its essential oil and has a richer palette reminiscent of the smell of fresh mint leaves but much stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mint as a medicinal plant has been known since human history, and its name derives from the Latin word “ment”, which means “thought” – it was believed that the smell of this plant has a beneficial effect on the brain, and the famous Roman historian Pliny the elder even wore a wreath of mint on his head and advised his students to do the same. In our time, this belief has not been confirmed, but other medicinal properties of mint have been well studied and found their scientific justification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
