Abstract
The Cover Feature illustrates the shift from traditional (–)-menthol extraction from mint to synthetic menthol production, driven by the rising demand across the pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food industries. In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202500515), M. Eisenacher and co-workers introduce an innovative, sustainable synthesis method for (–)-menthol, using renewable turpentine as an alternative to predominantly fossil-based raw materials, offering a greener solution for this key aroma compound.
封面特征说明了在制药、化妆品和食品行业不断增长的需求的推动下,从传统的薄荷醇提取到合成薄荷醇生产的转变。在他们的研究文章(DOI: 10.1002/cssc。202500515), M. Eisenacher及其同事介绍了一种创新的,可持续的(-)-薄荷醇合成方法,使用可再生的松节油作为主要化石原料的替代品,为这种关键的香气化合物提供了更环保的解决方案。
