Cornmint oil Usage And Synthesis
| Description | Cornmint oil is one of the most popular organic essential oil in the world, which is produced by the process of distillation from the organic mentha arvensis plant. The invigoratingly fresh scent of Cornmint oil is similar to Peppermint. Meanwhile, they share many of the same therapeutic applications. It is commonly used to free the skin of acne and help the immune system fight against colds because of its antimicrobial function. Besides, it has a significant reviving effect on the nervous system, which removes negativity, helps people become clear-headed and refreshes spirits. It may be beneficial for those who are unable to concentrate or people with mental fatigue and memory lapses. Moreover, it has been proved to be used as a anesthetic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, stimulant or digestive. Although Cornmint oil is used therapeutically in the same way as Peppermint, Cornmint oil is milder and therefore sometimes preferred for the use with children. |

The residual dementholized oil is a colorless to yellow liquid with acharacteristic minty odor.Dementholized oil (“DMO”) still contains about 33–45% (?)-menthol;(?)-menthone and (+)-isomenthone (25–40% together) are other major components. |
