Product Details

Mentha Citrata Oil : -is a pale yellow or pale olive to almost water white liquid of a sweet herbaceous, somewhat fruity fresh odor.It resembles bergamot, but is distinctly more harsh in its terpene topnotes, less rich in body and without the oily sweet, candy like backnote of good bergamot oils. On the other hand, mentha citrata oil presents a certain bergamot note without the citrus notes. This makes the oil more interesting in the lavender fougere field. Its dryout has some resemblance to clary sage, but lacks the richness of that oil.
Uses : In food, flavour, cosmetic, pharmaceuticals, and perfume industries. Mentha Citrata Essential Oil is also called Bergamot Mint not to be confused with Bergamot Orange, but both oils have high levels of linalool and linalool acetate with citrus notes. Menta Citrata is primarily used as perfume oil. In the garden it has a much stronger orange-lemon scent and the linalool acetate is formed during distillation. There is some confusion over the parents of this mint. Some botanists believe that it is a separate species while others feel it is a variety of M. aquatica. I believe the variety M. aquatica is lemon mint and the Mentha Citrata here is a variety of M. piperita. The difference in the two plants is visible, as the lemon mint is very green whereas the Mentha Citrata is tinged purple.
