Factory Supply Natural Healthcare Supplement Ingredient Peppermint Extract Powder

Peppermint extract is derived from the leaves and flowering parts of Mentha × piperita, a natural hybrid of water mint and spearmint. Its primary active constituent is menthol, along with menthone and other volatile compounds. The extract is widely used as a flavoring agent in foods and oral care products, and has a long history of medicinal use for digestive complaints. However, authoritative health bodies note that clinical evidence is strongest for peppermint oil in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), while research specifically on peppermint leaf extract is very limited.

Peppermint extract is derived from the leaves of mentha haplocalyx. The active ingredients of the extract are l-menthol, menthone, polyphenols, lipids and amino acids. Peppermint extract is yellow brown powder, soluble in organic solvents, slightly soluble in water.
