For the research, one would naturally learn about mint itself. What is the difference between peppermint and spearmint? Peppermint is a low growing creeping plant that produces a strong scented aromatic oil. Whereas Spearmint grows more upright and does not produce an oil and has a different flavor. The website "http://bonnieplants.com/growing/growing-mint/" states that mint is a fast growing plant that spreads. You must give it space or grow it in a pot. The plants like frost free climates and damp areas. They are vulnerable to many bugs when the plants are young.
“Ice Breaker Frost” sugar free mints from the Hershey company are the only mints with an intense combination of xylitol, cooling and flavor crystals”says, "http://businesswire.com. Many mints are made of sorbitol, food coloring, aspartame, maltodextrin, cotton seed oil and flavorings. Ice Breaker Frost mints are made of xylitol which is a sugar alcohol and it’s formula is C5H1205. When xylitol dissolves, it has an endothermic reaction, thus cooling the solution. Sorbitol is a sweet-tasting crystalline compound. Aspartame is a very sweet substance found in artificial sweeteners. Maltodextrin is a destrin containing maltose and is often a food additive produced by starch. …show more content…
He does not think that the mints have a cooling property. He believes that the taste of the mints signals a sensation in your brain. He did explain the endothermic heat goes in and exothermic heat goes out. This project is an example of endothermic heat. We talk about the ways temperature can spread. Conduction spreads by direct contact. Convection spreads through fluids, and radiation spreads by electromagnetic waves. Frost is created when there is enough moisture in the air and it is cold enough for little ice crystals to
