The potential of Sn–B–NaY–ZE catalyst for transformation of citronellal-rich essential oils to menthol-enrich oil via optimization through single factorial design to enhance their organoleptic profile and biological activities

Citronellal-rich essential oils of Cymbopogon winterianus and Corymbia citriodora were catalytically modified in a two-step process to produce menthol and other terpene alcohols using Sn–B–NaY–ZE and 1%Pd/AC, successively. The reaction parameters such as solvent selection, reaction time, temperature...
