| | L-MENTHYL ACETATE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Colorless liquid; menthol-like odor.Slightly soluble in water; miscible with
alcohol and ether. Combustible. | | Chemical Properties | l-Menthyl acetate has a fresh odor similar to mint and rose (on dilution). It has a characteristic, fresh, pungent flavor,
different from menthol (being much milder). It has a cool mouthfeel with only a trace of mint flavor. | | Occurrence | Reported as a normal constituent of peppermint oil in varying amounts, depending on the source; the synthetic
product is optically levorotatory; the commercial product is optically inactive. | | Uses | L-Menthyl Acetate is a component of essential oils extracted from natural sources. | | Uses | Perfumery, flavoring. | | Preparation | By reacting acetic anhydride with menthol in the presence of anhydrous sodium acetate. | | Definition | ChEBI: (+/-)-Menthyl acetate is a p-menthane monoterpenoid. | | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: tea-like, cooling and fruity | | Biochem/physiol Actions | Taste at 25 ppm | | Safety Profile | Mildly toxic by
ingestion. A skin irritant. Combustible
liquid. When heated to decomposition it
emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
