  • Some of these methods are also used in combination, e.g. used as combinations of crystallization and fractional distillation or in combination with chemical reactions or derivatizations.
  • GB 285,394 relates to a process for the preparation of racemic menthol by hydrogenation of thymol, fractional distillation of the mixtures obtained therefrom and subsequent freezing of neomenthol from the menthol fractions.
