Menthofuran – Terpene Profile

Like another monoterpene, Pulegone, Menthofuran is found in the essential oils of various minty herbs, including spearmint, peppermint, and pennyroyal. Perfumeries draw on Menthofuran’s smells of nut and coffee in their creation of warm, tantalizing fragrances. The monoterpene’s matching intense flavors of nut, coffee are commonly used to flavor desserts and hard candies.
