DMO Oil (Dementholised Mint Oil): Complete B2B Buying Guide

• DMO = Dementholised Mint Oil. It is the oil left after most of the menthol is removed from crude Mentha arvensis (cornmint) oil.
• Crude mint oil is chilled, menthol crystallises out, and the remaining liquid oil is sold as DMO.
• It still carries a strong, fresh, cooling minty aroma because it keeps a good part of its menthol and menthone.
• DMO is a cost-effective mint oil widely used in oral care, confectionery, pain balms, toiletries and fragrances.
• India – especially Uttar Pradesh – is one of the world's largest producers of mint oil and DMO.

1. Harvesting: Mentha arvensis crop is cut, mainly in the summer season.
2. Distillation: Leaves are steam distilled to get crude mint oil (high menthol).
3. Freezing: Crude oil is chilled so that menthol separates as crystals.
4. Separation: Menthol crystals are removed; the remaining liquid is DMO.
5. Rectification (optional): DMO is re-distilled to improve colour, odour and consistency.
6. Testing & Packing: Each batch is checked for key parameters and packed in drums.

Values vary with crop, season and grade. Always refer to the batch COA / GC report.

Specifications can be matched to your requirement. Full technical data sheet and COA shared on request.
