Cooling agent WS-23 and menthol (menthol) are two different cooling agents, each with unique characteristics and application areas. Here are some comparisons between them:
Cooling effect:
WS-23: It provides a refreshing, long-lasting, fresh cooling effect, without irritating spicy and bitter taste, and the dosage is low. Compared with menthol, WS-23 lacks the explosive cooling effect of menthol and the special mint aroma, but the cooling effect lasts longer.
Menthol: Menthol has a fast-burst cooling effect, but may bring a certain burning sensation, bitterness, and may irritate the eyes at higher concentrations.
Safety:
WS-23: Although limited oral intake is safe, inhalation toxicology and health effects are still unclear and require scientific investigation and attention from regulatory agencies.
Menthol: As a traditional cooling agent, menthol is widely used in food, medicine, daily chemicals, tobacco and other industries, but there are dosage restrictions and some application defects, such as strong volatility and irritation to the eyes.
Application areas:
WS-23: It can be widely used in chewing gum, toothpaste, candy, jelly, jam, starch food, dairy products, meat products, cigarettes, medicines and other products.
Menthol: Traditionally used in food, beverages, candy, cosmetics, tobacco products, medicine, etc., but its use is limited due to its shortcomings.
Preparation method:
WS-23: There are many preparation methods. A simple method is to generate an intermediate through the alkylation reaction of propionitrile and 2-bromopropane, and then synthesize it through an amidation reaction.
Menthol: It is mainly prepared by plant extraction or organic synthesis.
Market acceptance:
WS-23: It is considered to be a next-generation coolant that is more effective and lasting than traditional coolants such as menthol or peppermint oil.
Menthol: Due to its natural properties and extensive application history, menthol has a high acceptance in the market, but the emergence of WS-23 may provide a new option, especially in applications seeking longer-lasting or specific effects.
Sensory experience:
WS-23: In e-cigarette products, the taste produced by WS-23 is rated as smoother, cooler and less irritating.
Menthol: Menthol’s cooling sensation and distinctive aroma are its defining characteristics, but may be accompanied by some unwanted sensory experiences such as bitterness or burning sensations.
