Cooling Agent WS-5

WS-5 is a derivative of the traditional cooling agent menthol, which provides a stronger sense of coolness and stability than menthol. Meanwhile, it has no stimulating pungency and numbness, nor bitter flavor, and is more economical in dosage. Its long-lasting cool sensation and rich coolness can effectively solve the challenges in the development of taste-based products, providing a pleasant cool experience for products. WS-5 is widely used in industries such as food, medicine, daily chemicals, and tobacco, allowing for the creation of fresh and pleasant cool products.
