Pulegone is a monoterpene ketone with a refreshing odor reminescent of mint. This is the reason why pulegone-rich oils containing plants are often named in Turkish after mint. Six Labiatae genera (i.e., Acinos, Calamintha, Cyclotrichium, Mentha, Micromeria and Ziziphora) have been found to contain pulegone as a major constituent in their respective oils. This study covers the oil compositions of pulegone-rich Labiatae species growing wild in Turkey.
