The menthol content was determined using a calibration graph at 510 nm, and
the obtained results are summarized in Table 3.

Average of six determinations, calculated based on the calibration graph.
The good recovery of menthol was obtained for both types of green tea,
indicating that the constituents of tea samples do not interfere significantly with
the determination of menthol. Therefore, this method can be a good alternative
device for the direct determination of menthol, in food and cosmetic samples. In
addition, this method is advantageous in terms of accuracy and simplicity, is
cheap and ready available in most laboratories of quality control.
