The flavors and fragrances industry receives a major input of raw materials from Mentha arvensis. Mentha arvensis is a herbaceous perennial member of the Lamiaceae or Labiatae family (Tucker and Naczi, 2007) of flowering plants which encompasses many other common herbs.
Northern India, now dominates the production of Mentha Arvensis. Although Punjab accounts for only 10% of the production there is no doubt that the yield & quality are unrivaled especially when compared to other regions of northern India.
Processing via steam distillation allows for the extraction of Menthol, the main constituent, and the production of mint oil. Look no further for quality Mentha Arvensis.
