|
|
Description
|
|
Exists as
two sterioisomers, menthone and
isomenthone in many essential
oils, in
|
|
|
|
particular in oils from Mentha spices. The isolation is
carried out by fractional distillation
|
|
|
|
of
dementholized peppermint oil. They have a strong tendency
for interconversion and
|
|
|
|
are therefore,
difficult to obtain in high purity
