Dear Dr Nisar Ahmed, some Different extraction methods and solvent properties affected the lipid.

The whole Mentha plant possesses essential oils; however, the amount of oil varied depending upon the species and method of isolation. Essential oils from different Mentha species have been isolated by different methods such as hydrodistillation using Clevenger apparatus or pharmacopeia distillation apparatus (Li et al., 2013). Menthol and pulegone present in the essential oil of Mentha species are the substances that give the mints their characteristic aromas and flavors (Lubbe and Verpoorte, 2011). Some investigators reported that aroma and flavor of spearmint is due to presence of carvone (Hussain et al., 2010a). Instead of menthol, pulegone and carvone, chemically essential oil of Mentha species is composed of other different major and minor components. Several investigations have been carried out on the chemical composition of different samples of Mentha species from different geographical regions.
