Menthol alcohol, often referred to as menthol, is primarily composed of menthol, a natural compound derived from mint oils, especially peppermint. It is a cyclic monoterpene alcohol, with the chemical formula C10H20O. In addition to menthol, it may also contain small amounts of other compounds, such as menthone and various terpenes, depending on its source and method of extraction. Menthol is commonly used for its cooling sensation and flavoring properties in products like cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food.

Menthol itself is an alcohol. To be more specific, its a secondary alcohol. However, just because it is an alcohol don't assume that its similar to Ethanol(Drinking alcohol). As a sidenote, if a compund has "-ol" at the end of it, then its going to be a alcohol. Such as Isopropanol(2-Propanol), Methanol, D-Panthanol, 1- Butanol etc.


Will menthol show a positive etg test?

No, menthol will not show a positive ETG (ethyl glucuronide) test. ETG tests are designed to detect the presence of ethyl alcohol and its metabolites in the body, specifically after alcohol consumption. Menthol, which is a compound found in mint and some tobacco products, does not contain ethanol and therefore would not produce a positive result for alcohol in an ETG test.
