RAW MATERIAL REGIONS
Peppermint is a short-day plant, extensively cultivated in the Red River Delta region, spanning provinces from Hung Yen, Hanoi, Ha Nam to Ninh Binh. Additionally, peppermint is now being propagated and cultivated extensively in Binh Thuan province. The predominant cornmint variety grown in Vietnam is of Japanese origin, scientifically known as Mentha piperita, with a very high menthol content, over 60%.
HARVESTING
When the plant reaches maturity is when the essential oil content in the plant is at its peak. At that time, the entire above-ground part is cut for steam distillation to extract the essential oil.
After cutting, the plant will continue to sprout new shoots and buds for the next harvest. Approximately 3 harvests can be obtained in a year, after which the growth of the plant slows down, requiring replanting with new seedlings the following year.
PEPPERMINT OIL DISTILLATION
The distillation equipment employs steam distillation technology, heated via large-capacity steam boilers. The condensation unit utilizes tube bundle soldering technology to ensure maximum efficiency. Approximately 4kg of essential oil can be extracted per ton of cornmint.
