Essential oils isolated from biomass are valuable natural resources with diverse applications. Mentha Pulegium Linnaeus essentialoil is particularly attractive due to its high pulegone content. Ethanol, a bio-based oxygenated additive, enhances combustionefficiency and engine performance while reducing emissions. Studying the thermophysical properties of their binary mixtures ispivotal for sustainable technologies. In the present work, we investigate the chemical profile and thermophysical characteristics ofM. Pulegium essential oil mixed with ethanol. The chemical composition was identified using GC-MS with a DB-5MS column.New experimental data for density (ρ), dynamic and kinematic viscosities (ɳ, µ), and refractive index (nD) were obtained at 293.15- 303.15 K and 0.1 MPa. Specific heat capacity (Cp) was measured between 253.15 K to 298.15 K. Excess volume (VE), deviationsin dynamic viscosity (Δɳ), and refractive index deviations (ΔnD) were correlated using the Redlich-Kister equation to interpretintermolecular forces
