Chemical composition of essential oils in Mentha spicata L. accession [IIIM(J)26] from North-West Himalayan region, India

Secondary metabolites of peppermint change the morphophysiological and biochemical characteristics of tomato

“…Differences in the secondary metabolites might have been caused by the climatic and cultivation factors, the origin and genetic features, plant density, ontogenetic stages, seasonal changes, distillation and drying methods (Ram et al, 1997;Chauhan et al, 2009). Detection of phenolic acids in WE demonstrated that these compounds were at significantly enough concentrations to play a major role in the plant , s interference and phytotoxic effects.…”

An Appraisal on the Source-to-Sink Relationship in Plants: an Application of Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging

“…32 Peppermint (scientific name: Mentha × piperita L.) is an herbaceous plant that belong to the family of lamiaceae being a hybrid of the species Mentha aquatica L. and Mentha spicata L. Peppermint is under cultivation from tropical to temperate climate of America, Europe, Asia and South Africa being used worldwide owing to its valuable essential oil. 33 It is one of the most important and popular aromatic medicinal plants, and is easily available in herbal markets. The metabolism of terpenes in peppermint leaves has been extensively evaluated, including studies on the differences in the monoterpene composition as a function of leaf age.…”

Essential Oils from <i>Lippia origanoides</i> Kunth. and <i>Mentha spicata</i> L.: Chemical Composition, Insecticidal and Antioxidant Activities

“…The essential oil from M. spicata, known as peppermint, consists mainly of oxygenated monoterpenes (25 constituents were identified, [18] studied the essential oils from plants of the same species in the flowering period, collected in different regions of the Himalayas (Northern India), and found carvone as the major constituent (49.62 to 76.65%), followed by limonene (9.57 to 22.31%), 1,8-cineole (1.32 to 2.62%) and trans-carveol (0.3 to 1.52%), results that differ from those found in this work. Koliopoulos et al (2010) [19], investigating plants of the Lamiaceae family in different regions of Greece, cited piperitenone oxide (35.7%) and 1,8-cineole (14.5%) as the major constituents of the essential oil from M. spicata.…”
