Abstract
Peppermint oils from two Pacific Northwest growing areas were studied as to the relationship between free menthol content and viscosity. Correlation was found in oils from the same area but could not be carried over to oils produced in a different area. An existing method for use in determining free menthol was modified to be useful for peppermint oils from this region, even though the oil samples are not taken in the field at the time the oil is distilled. Viscosity changes in refrigerated oil samples were noted.
