formula, see observation
DEF

A chemical compound which appears under the form of a colorless liquid with a mint odour, is slightly soluble in water, is miscible with alcohol and ether, is derived by boiling menthol with acetic anhydride in the presence of sodium acetate or occurs naturally in peppermint oil, and is used in perfumery, in toilet waters and as a flavoring.

OBS

Menthyl acetate [is used] in fruit, mint, and spice flavorings for beverages, ice cream, ices, candy, baked goods, and chewing gum.

OBS

Not to be confused with "methyl acetate."

Liquide incolore à odeur de menthe, soluble dans l'alcool, les huiles, insoluble dans l'eau, préparé par action de la chaleur sur un mélange de menthol et d'anhydride acétique en présence d'acétate de sodium ou présent à l'état naturel dans certaines essences végétales, telle l'essence de menthe, utilisé en parfumerie et comme aromatisant.

C10H20O
formula, see observation
DEF

An alcohol-soluble, white crystalline compound which appears under the form of white crystals with cooling odour and taste, which is soluble in alcohol, light petroleum solvents, glacial acetic acid and fixed or volatile oils, is slightly soluble in water, and which is used in perfumery, cigarettes, liqueurs, as a flavoring agent and for chest rubs and cough drops.

OBS

May be 1- (from natural sources) or dl- (natural or synthetic).

OBS

The prefixes "ortho-", "meta-" and "para-", along with their corresponding abbreviations ("o-", "m-" and "p-"), appear in italics and are ignored in alphabetizing. According to the actual chemical nomenclature rules in organic chemistry (in 2003), the numbers designating the positions of the disubstitution groups (1,2- for "ortho-", 1,3- for "meta-" and 1,4- for "para-") are to be preferred to the symbols "o-", "m-" and "p-". Furthermore, the prefixes "ortho-", "meta-" and "para-" should not be used anymore, and their corresponding abbreviations ("o-", "m-", and "p-") will soon be judged to be avoided, if not totally condemned.

formula, see observation
DEF

Alcool terpénique extrait de l'essence de menthe poivrée, se présentant sous la forme de cristaux incolores, à forte odeur de menthe, peu solubles dans l'eau, solubles dans les solvants organiques, utilisé comme anesthésique (calmant), sous forme de pommades ou d'huiles ou en inhalation, pour son arôme en parfumerie, comme aromatisant de boissons, en confiserie et pour parfumer les tabacs.

OBS

Les préfixes de position «ortho-», «méta-» et «para-», tout comme les abréviations correspondantes «o-», «m-» et «p-», s'écrivent en italique et n'interviennent pas dans une classification par ordre alphabétique. Selon les règles de nomenclature de chimie organique en vigueur aujourd'hui (en 2003), il est recommandé d'utiliser les chiffres 1,2-, 1,3- et 1,4-, respectivement. Les préfixes «ortho-», «méta-» et «para-» ne doivent plus être utilisés. L'usage des symboles correspondants («o-», «m-» et «p-») sera bientôt fortement déconseillé, sans être exclu.
