How five mint species differ in aroma
Quantitative descriptive analysis of five mint species found a pronounced lemon-like note in Mentha citrata, citrus and floral aromas in M. suaveolens, a prominent minty flavour in peppermint (M. piperita) and a spearmint-like note in M. spicata and M. persicaria; across the five species, 41 odorants were characterised with odour activity values of at least 1.
Five species compared by a sensory panel and odour activity values; the abstract does not say which plant material was used, and the compounds it names separate the species rather than define each smell.
The statement the claim rests on was found word for word in the abstract fetched from the named service, and an editor read the full abstract against every part of the claim. Abstract from Europe PMC (ebi.ac.uk/europepmc).
