Synthetic Menthol Production Cost Reports
Flavours and Fragrances
The synthetic menthol production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a synthetic menthol production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of synthetic menthol. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.
Synthetic menthol is synthetically made from petrochemical m-cresol. In order to produce synthetic menthol, m-cresol is alkylated with propene to make thymol, which is then hydrogenated to create a reaction mixture. The resultant mixture is fractionally distilled to minimally generate Synthetic Menthol. It is frequently used to treat mild throat discomfort since it contains anaesthetic and anti-irritant properties.
Synthetic Menthol has a melting point between 41 and 44 °C depending on its purity and is a white or colourless, flaky, crystalline substance that is solid at ambient temperature with a density of 0.890 kg/dm3. The chemical formula of synthetic menthol is C10H20O, and its molecular weight is 156.26 g/mol. It has a waxy, crystalline appearance and is solid even at the room temperature. It is highly miscible in diethyl ether, acetone, chloroform, acetic acid, ethanol and hexene. The boiling and melting of synthetic menthol are 212 °C (485 K) and 36-38 °C (311 K). The flash point of synthetic menthol is 93 °C.
The demand for synthetic menthol is rising from major end-use industries such food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and personal care goods. A wide range of personal care products, including toothpaste and dental treatments all uses synthetic menthol. It is frequently used by the pharmaceutical industry to create non-remedy pain relievers that are used to alleviate minor aches, pains, spasms, and discomforts.
In order to minimise tingling and slight throat or mouth discomfort, it is typically used as an antipruritic. Moreover, it is used as mineral ice for treating minor skin consumes in medical assistance units and in decongestant definitions for the chest and throat. In near-home care products, synthetic menthol is widely used to provide a cooling effect.
