Abstract: Objective To consummate a method of quality control of peppermint water. Methods Thin layer chromatography was used for the identification of peppermint oil.Gas chromatography was used for the determination of mentholum. Results The identification of peppermint oil was highly specific by TLC.The linear range of mentholum was from 5.0-80.0 μg/ml, r=0.999 9.The average recovery of mentholum was 103.16% and RSD was 1.81%. Conclusion These Methods were easy to operate with accurate results, which washigh sensitivity andgoodrepeatability.This quality standard could effectively control the quality of peppermint water.
