Menthone is a minty monoterpenoid ketone naturally occurring in mint oils (peppermint, cornmint). Menthone provides a minty-camphoraceous facet and a crisp cooling lift in flavors (where permitted) and fragrance accords. Supply is available as trans-menthone (racemic)-89-80-5 & (−)-menthone (L-menthone)-14073-97-3 depending on application and sensory target. Also known by synonyms: p-Menthan-3-one; trans-menthone; (−)-menthone; 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanone by menthone manufacturers. We are the leading, trusted menthone supplier worldwide and in the United States, with reliable lead times and global supply capability.

Chemical Properties & Specifications
Mint Complexes: Essential component for building, fortifying, or standardizing synthetic peppermint oils and other mint flavor bases
Flavor Enhancement: Trace amounts to impart a cooling, fresh, and "lift" characteristic, particularly in chewing gum & candies, Oral care & Beverages
Fruity Blends: Incorporated at very low concentrations (∼5 to 50 ppm) to add freshness in fruit flavours, notably imitation raspberry
Aroma Profile: Cooling, minty, and refreshing aroma for various fine and functional fragrance compositions
Composition Use: Perfumes, colognes, and air fresheners
Olfactive Role: Traces to give freshness and lift to compositions, including notes like geranium and lavender.
Product Categories: Soaps, detergents (good stability in most pH ranges), and toiletry applications
Intermediate: Synthesis of agrochemicals and dyestuffs
Reduction to Menthol: Precursor that can be converted to corresponding menthols (e.g., L-Menthone is hydrogenated to yield a mixture of (+)-neomenthol and (−)-menthol)
R&d lab: Biological activities for antimicrobial research like antibacterial and antifungal properties, including activity against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
