In enzymology a (-)-menthol monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.46) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction(-)-menthol + NADPH + H+ + O2 p-menthane-38-diol + NADP+ + H2OThe 4 substrates of this enzyme are (-)-menthol NADPH H+ and O2 whereas its 3 products are p-menthane-38-diol NADP+ and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
