Description

Spearmint Oil Terpeneless is a high-purity, concentrated flavor and fragrance ingredient derived from natural spearmint oil through a process that removes the terpene hydrocarbons. This refinement results in a product with enhanced stability, solubility, and a more intense, characteristic spearmint profile, making it a superior choice for demanding applications. It is essential for formulators seeking consistent, long-lasting minty notes without the volatility and oxidation issues associated with standard essential oils. Key industries that utilize this material include flavor and fragrance creation, food and beverage processing, oral care products, and pharmaceutical flavoring.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: As a key concentrate for creating authentic, stable spearmint flavors in chewing gums, candies, confectionery, beverages, and oral hygiene products like toothpaste and mouthwash.
• Food & Beverage Processing: Used to impart a clean, refreshing spearmint taste to sauces, desserts, dairy products, and alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as a natural flavoring agent in syrups, lozenges, and other medicinal preparations to improve palatability.
• Aromatherapy & Personal Care: Incorporated into lotions, balms, soaps, and diffuser blends for its refreshing and invigorating aromatic properties.
• Technical Applications: Serves as a starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex aroma chemicals due to its concentrated menthol and carvone-related components.

Quality Control

Our Spearmint Oil Terpeneless is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and organoleptic properties, aligning with industry standards such as FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and ISO. Key parameters including organoleptic profile, refractive index, specific gravity, and major component analysis (e.g., L-carvone content) are verified. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This product is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, heat, or light should be avoided to maintain stability and shelf life. For long-term storage, consider filling the headspace with an inert gas such as nitrogen.
