Journal: chemistry of plant raw material
Year: 2022

The terpene and fatty acid composition in ethanol extracts of spearmint (lat. Mentha spicata) growing in the Middle Urals was studied by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The qualitative and quantitative composition of the terpene fraction was studied depending on the part of the plant (leaves, stems, roots) and the storage method of the plant (freezing, drying). 30 components were found in the extracts, 24 were identified. It was found that the greatest amount of terp
