A method of producing an essential oil, the method comprising extracting the essential oil from a hybrid mint plant known as 13-S12-2, wherein the essential oil comprises an essential oil profile selected from the group consisting of:
- a. 1-carvone and d-limonene and wherein the weight ratio of 1-carvone to d-limonene ranges from about 0.83:1 to about 1.25:1;
- b. from about 25% mass to about 38% mass of 1-carvone, from about 24% mass to about 37% mass of d-limonene, from about 1.9% mass to about 2.9% mass of 3-octonol, from about 2.4% mass to about 3.6% mass of dihydrocarvone, from about 1.0% mass to about 1.6% mass of menthone, and less than about 1% of 1,8-cineole;
- c. from about 28% mass to about 35% mass of 1-carvone, from about 27% mass to about 33% mass of d-limonene, from about 2.1% mass to about 2.7% mass of 3-octonol, from about 2.7% mass to about 3.3% mass of dihydrocarvone, from about 1.1% mass to about 1.5% mass of menthone, and less than about 1% of 1,8-cineole;
- d. from about 30% mass to about 33% mass of 1-carvone, from about 29% mass to about 32% mass of d-limonene, from about 2.3% mass to about 2.5% mass of 3-octonol, from about 2.8% mass to about 3.1% mass of dihydrocarvone, from about 1.2% mass to about 1.4% mass of menthone, and less than about 1% of 1,8-cineole;
- and
- e. about 31.5% mass of 1-carvone, about 30.3% mass of d-limonene, about 2.4% mass of 3-octonol, about 3% mass of dihydrocarvone, about 1.3% mass of menthone, and less than about 1% of 1,8-cineole.
A method of cultivating a hybrid mint plant known as 13-S12-2, the method comprising asexually propagating tip cuttings or stolon cuttings, wherein the hybrid plant comprises an essential oil, the essential oil comprising an essential oil profile selected from the group consisting of:
- a. 1-carvone and d-limonene and wherein the weight ratio of 1-carvone to d-limonene ranges from about 0.83:1 to about 1.25:1;
- b. from about 25% mass to about 38% mass of 1-carvone, from about 24% mass to about 37% mass of d-limonene, from about 1.9% mass to about 2.9% mass of 3-octonol, from about 2.4% mass to about 3.6% mass of dihydrocarvone, from about 1.0% mass to about 1.6% mass of menthone, and less than about 1% of 1,8-cineole;
- c. from about 28% mass to about 35% mass of 1-carvone, from about 27% mass to about 33% mass of d-limonene, from about 2.1% mass to about 2.7% mass of 3-octonol, from about 2.7% mass to about 3.3% mass of dihydrocarvone, from about 1.1% mass to about 1.5% mass of menthone, and less than about 1% of 1,8-cineole;
- d. from about 30% mass to about 33% mass of 1-carvone, from about 29% mass to about 32% mass of d-limonene, from about 2.3% mass to about 2.5% mass of 3-octonol, from about 2.8% mass to about 3.1% mass of dihydrocarvone, from about 1.2% mass to about 1.4% mass of menthone, and less than about 1% of 1,8-cineole;
- and
- e. about 31.5% mass of 1-carvone, about 30.3% mass of d-limonene, about 2.4% mass of 3-octonol, about 3% mass of dihydrocarvone, about 1.3% mass of menthone, and less than about 1% of 1,8-cineole.
