abstract = {Essential oils have a vast number of applications in different areas of our daily life. Detailed
chiral analysis and structural characterization of their constituents remains an important subject in
analytical chemistry. Here, we report on a broadband rotational spectroscopy study of peppermint
oil in the frequency range 2–8 GHz. We focus on an unambiguous determination of the excess
enantiomers of the oil constituents menthone and isomenthone in the oil by applying chiralitysensitive
rotational spectroscopy, the so-called microwave three-wave mixing (M3WM) technique.
Additionally, a new menthol conformer, not previously characterized, was experimentally observed,
and the gas-phase structures of the two conformers of menthol and menthone were determined
experimentally based on the assignment of their 13C-isotopologues in natural abundance.},
