Mentha oil prices softened by 0.10 per cent to Rs 688.30 per kg in futures trade today as participants trimmed positions, driven by subdued demand from consuming industries in the spot market.

Besides, adequate stocks position in the physical market on increased arrivals from Chandausi in Uttar Pradesh put pressure on mentha oil prices.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, mentha oil for delivery in November edged down by 70 paise, or 0.10 per cent to Rs 688.30 per kg in business turnover of 99 lots.
