【Usage】
Menthone is a combination of insect repellents and insecticides, characterized by: the insect repellent and insecticide composition includes (a) citronella oil; (b) menthone; (c) vanillin; and (d) a delivery medium; wherein the weight ratio of menthol-3,8-diol to citronella oil is 10～2:1. The advantages of this invention lie in the use of known natural ingredients to mitigate the limitations of current products. By using two or more insect-repellent materials in a synergistic effect, the product achieves additional benefits and superior efficacy in a unique formulation. Research has found that this new composition effectively repels mosquitoes, demonstrating strong insect-repellent effects. Formulations containing citronella oil and menthone have proven effective against malaria mosquitoes, mosquito-borne malaria, and Aedes mosquitoes that transmit dengue fever and yellow fever. Uses: Menthone, an organic alcohol, can be used as a pharmaceutical raw material.
