The World of Mint

摘要

Natural mint oils and flavors are a complex mix of blended and distilled mint plant oils that produce a fresh, clean, tingling, distinctive and long-lasting effect, taste and odor. The oils from the plants vary considerably from season to season, from different growing areas and from exposure to different climate conditions. They require a special skill set at the farm level to monitor the various growing parameters, and to properly harvest and distill the final oils. Mint processors, mint scientists and flavorists sort through this natural complexity to create the flavors that millions of consumers experience daily in their chewing gums, confectionery and related products.
