Hazard Information | Back Directory | [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. | [Definition]
ChEBI: (+/-)-Menthyl acetate is a p-menthane monoterpenoid. | [Preparation]
By reacting acetic anhydride with menthol in the presence of anhydrous sodium acetate. | [Taste threshold values]
