Descripción

General description

DL-Menthol is a racemic mixture of D- and L-menthol. Its optical resolution produces L-menthol, which is widely used in confectionaries cosmetics and toothpaste for its characteristic peppermint flavor and cooling effect.

Application

• Developing of an eco-friendly liquid-liquid microextraction method by using menthol-based hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent for determination of basic fuchsin dye: assessment of the greenness profile.: This study introduces a sustainable method using DL-menthol-based solvents for extracting and analyzing industrial dyes, providing a green alternative to traditional solvent extraction techniques (Aydin et al., 2024).


• Potential fumigant toxicity of essential oils against Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) and its egg parasitoid Trichogramma evanescens (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae).: This research highlights the efficacy of DL-menthol in pest management, examining its potential as a natural fumigant that could replace synthetic chemicals in agricultural practices (Elbehery et al., 2024).


• Differential analysis of volatiles in five types of mosquito-repellent products by chemometrics combined with headspace GC-Orbitrap HRMS nontargeted detection.: Explores the application of DL-menthol in developing mosquito-repellent formulations, enhancing the understanding of volatile compounds in public health products (Zhao et al., 2024).


• Vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction based on the hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent-based ferrofluid for extraction and detection of myclobutanil.: Utilizes DL-menthol in innovative extraction methods for pesticide analysis, promoting safer and more efficient detection techniques in food safety and environmental monitoring (Fattahi et al., 2023).
