| The most potent odorants (highest FD factor, 8-12) of a Japanese peppermint oil (Yakima) were menthofuran (5.0%, rubbery tarry plastic), 1,8-cineole (4.0%, cooling eucalyptus), 2- and 3-methylbutanal (0.07%, sweet cocoa malty), pulegone (1.9%, heavy minty dirty), (E)-ß-damascenone (trace, fruity woody berry), α-pinene (0.7%, piney), 2,5-diethyltetrahydrofuran (0.02%, pungent solvent ether), ethyl 2-methylbutyrate (fruity green apple), ethyl 3-methylbutyrate (fruity strawberry), isomenthone (3.2%, minty dirty leafy), menthol (41.6%, cooling minty clean), linalool (0.3%, floral sweet creamy), ß-ionone (heavy woody fruity), and (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal (leafy floral cucumber). \\ |
