Menthol is extracted from the leaves and stems of peppermint. It is a white crystal and is the main component of peppermint and peppermint essential oils. Menthol generally has two isomers (D-type and L-type), and natural menthol is mainly L-isomer (L-menthol), where menthol generally refers to racemic menthol (DL-menthol ). Menthol can be used as a flavoring agent in toothpaste, perfume, beverage and candy. Its esters are also used in fragrances.
