Mentha Pulegium Linnaeus essential oil is particularly attractive due to its high pulegone content. Ethanol, a bio-based oxygenated additive, enhances combustion efficiency and engine performance while reducing emissions. Studying the thermophysical properties of their binary mixtures is pivotal for sustainable technologies. In the present work, we investigate the chemical profile and thermophysical characteristics of M. 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), deviations in dynamic viscosity (Δɳ), and refractive index deviations (ΔnD) were correlated using the Redlich-Kister equation to interpret intermolecular forces. application/pdf eng Taylor and Francis Journal of Essential Oil Bearing Plants. 2026, V. 29, n. 2, p. 514-527 https://doi.org/10.1080/0972060X.2026.2662365 Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess Mentha pulegium Linnaeus Essential oil Ethanol Thermophysical properties Redlich-Kister correlation Fitoquímica Termodinámica Botanical chemistry Thermochemistry Thermophysical and chemical characterization of Mentha Pulegium essential oil-ethanol mixtures info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Journal of Essential Oil Bearing Plants 29 2 514 527
