Question

suggest a suitable method to extract menthol from aqueous mint juice and explain?

Answer 1

The menthol added to many products is actually synthesized from a compound called myrcene. which in turn is made form geraniol, It is available from the plant of course, but it takes a lot less energy to synthesize methol than to extract it. I fyou want to do yours more naturally since menthol is not soluble in water.
