L-Menthol is a crystalline solid that has antifungal properties. It is used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products. L-Menthol is produced from the plant Mentha arvensis. The reaction mechanism of L-menthol with benzalkonium chloride has been shown to inhibit the growth of Hl-60 cells in vitro and to demonstrate potent antifungal activity against Candida albicans isolates. L-Menthol can be extracted from Mentha arvensis by solid phase microextraction on a polymeric membrane using an organic solvent as the extracting agent. The extract is then purified by crystallization or column chromatography. This process can also be used for other compounds, such as l-menthol, which are chemically related to menthol. L-Menthol has been shown to have chemopreventive effects against colorectal adenocarcinoma in rats and inhibits platelet aggregation.
