Menthone 80/20

Menthone 80/20
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey aroma chemical isolation plants for Menthone 80/20. We supply the complete machinery to isolate Menthone into a consistent, specification-grade aroma chemical for the flavour, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industries.
Mechotech's Menthone 80/20 plant is engineered from first principles around the specific chemistry and separation requirements of Menthone. Built in SS 316L with a fractional distillation / isolation column, automation, and full documentation, each plant is delivered as a commissioned, performance-verified turnkey system that reliably meets the 80/20 specification.
Manufacturing Process
Feedstock Preparation
The feedstock is authenticated and conditioned to the optimal charge specification before fractional distillation.
Fractional Distillation / Isolation
The prepared feedstock is charged into the SS 316L fractionation column, which separates and concentrates the target molecule (Menthone) from the remaining fractions under controlled temperature and vacuum.
Collection & Redistillation
The isolated fraction is collected and redistilled to progressively refine the target molecule to the declared 80/20 specification.
Quality Control
Each batch of Menthone is verified by GC-MS and physical parameters (specific gravity, refractive index) before release.
Applications
- Flavour and fragrance formulation
- Pharmaceutical standardised ingredient supply
- Cosmetic and personal care active ingredients
- Export to regulated-market ingredient buyers
Key Features
GMP-Compliant SS 316L Construction
Electropolished SS 316L product-contact surfaces meet WHO-GMP and Schedule M requirements, with CIP operation between batches.
Fractional Distillation Column
A dedicated fractionation column separates and concentrates the target molecule from the feedstock.
Standardised to 80/20 Specification
In-process and batch-release assay hold the finished Menthone within its declared 80/20 specification.
Scalable Batch Capacity
Plants are configured from pilot scale to commercial capacity with modular expansion.
