A field experiment was conducted from 1989 to 1991 on a Fox loamy sand soil to study the effects of harvest date on selected agronomic, physical and chemical characteristics of peppermint (Mentha piperita L.). Plant biomass and essential oil yields increased throughout the season to a maximum in very late August to early September. Menthol, neomenthol, and menthyl acetate concentrations increased in the essential oil with plant development. The amount of menthone and isomenthone was highest in immature plants. The concentrations of menthofuran and pulegone in the essential oil corresponded to the amount of flower bloom in the peppermint. Changes during the season in the concentrations of piperitone, terpinene-4-ol, α-terpineol, 1,8-cineole, limonene, γ-terpinene, terpinolene, α-terpinene, α-pinene, β-pinene, 3-octanol, β-myrcene, Linalool, sabinene, caryophyllene and Germacrene-D were typically quite small. In general, these preliminary results indicate that peppermint can be grown successfully on the coarse-textured soils of Ontario.

Physical And Chemical

Perilla frutescens essential oil was studied in this work for its physico-chemical characteristics and composition. The essential oil was obtained yields by 0.1%. The physico-chemical properties of the oil were also discovered including the physico-chemical parameters averaged 0.944 g/cm3 for specific gravity, acid index (9.185 mg KOH/g), ester index (28.66 mg KOH/g), refractive index (1.4976). Thought gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The results revealed that the oil is extremely rich in myristicin (43.896%), elemicin (28.793%), α-caryophyllene (8.327%), perillaldehyde (7.973%), (Z,E)-farnesene (2.807%), D-limonene (1.043%). The results showed that the morphological characteristics and the polymorphism in the essential oil composition of perilla leaves were reliant on the harvesting time and geographical cultivate. Perilla essential oil is antioxidant, antibacterial and used in many studies, helping to find its effect on Alzheimer′s disease, memory loss, concentration and anti-depressive concentration, because it contains unique compounds as above

Peppermint is one of the valuable medicinal and aromatic plants with its powerful flavour and fragrance. Its leaf and essential oil are used in cosmeceuticals, foods, pharmaceutical and personal care products. It is well known that yield and secondary metabolite biosynthesis in the medicinal and aromatic plants are strongly influenced by abiotic stresses. Salinity is also one of the most important stress factors affecting plants. This study was carried out to determine the effect of salt stress on growth, essential oil content and oil constituents in peppermint plants. For this aim, three different concentrations of sodium chloride NaCl (0, 100 and 150 mM) were applied to peppermint plants. As a result of the study it was determined that all of the investigated parameters were significantly affected by NaCl applications. Shoot length, fresh and dry weights of plants and essential oil content decreased in line with the elevating level of NaCl. Besides, NaCl also caused differences in essential oil composition. Menthol and menthone, the main components of the peppermint oil, reduced significantly when NaCl concentration rose to 150 mM. Based on the results, it may be concluded that NaCl especially at high concentrations considerably and negatively affected plant growth, essential oil content and quality of the essential oil.
