Mentha pulegium is an aromatic and medicinal plant used in different Mediterranean herb-based liqueurs, whose phytochem. composition depends on the elaboration technique used. The aim of this work was to investigate differences in the sensory, chem., and biol. characteristics of pennyroyal liqueurs elaborated by hydro-alc. (HI) and aqueous (AI) infusions, percolation (P), maceration (M), and distillation (D) techniques, and by the mixture of spirit with pennyroyal essential oil (EO). The volatile composition determined by gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatog. coupled to flame ionization detection (GC-FID), the total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid (TFC) contents, the antioxidant (AC), and enzyme (α-glucosidase, tyrosinase, and acetylcholinesterase) inhibitory capacities, and the sensory anal. by napping, were evaluated in the liqueurs obtained. Monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes were the main volatiles present in liqueurs. The M, P, HI, and AI liqueurs showed the highest TPC, TFC, and AC values; and pulegone, the main hepatotoxic chemotype, was found in concentrations that gave rise to concern. The D and EO liqueurs stand out for their acceptable pulegone content and greater tyrosinase inhibition. Similar liqueur classifications were achieved by sensory analyses, and physico-chem. and biol. analyses using multiple factor and principal component analyses, resp. These results are an important contribution to the identification of the most appropriate elaboration conditions for herbal liqueurs with the healthiest chem. composition and functional properties.
