Menthol from Mint Could Boost U S Peppermint Industry
Wartime demand pushes Michigan mint as a potential menthol source. Menthol refined from domestic peppermint oil may create a new U S industry. In 1941 about half a million pounds menthol were used and a million pounds of peppermint oil would be needed. Indiana and Michigan produced about 80 percent of the 1941 domestic crop, suggesting a larger future market.
