Peppermint, Mentha piperita, belongs to the Lamiaceae family and is a perennial herbaceous plant. It has a rhizome and upright or creeping stems that can reach 1.20 m in height.
The reddish, quadrangular stems are up to 80 cm long and contain esters. The green, opposite, petiolate leaves measure between 4 and 10 cm and turn reddish in the sun and coppery-red in the shade. They are covered with secretory hairs containing fragrant volatile substances, extracted by steam distillation.
Peppermint prefers clayey, chalky, damp soil. Its stoloniferous roots enable it to spread easily. This hybrid is a cross between Mentha aquatica and Mentha spicata and is grown in Europe, North America and Russia.
Peppermint essential oil, obtained by distillation of the flowering tops, is a colorless, pale yellow or sometimes pale yellow-green liquid. Its invigorating fragrance is powerful and pervasive.
The oil's composition varies according to the stage of ripening when harvested, with notable differences in menthol and menthone concentrations.
