Cooling Agent WS-10 is a highly effective synthetic cooling agent that delivers a long-lasting sensation of coolness. Its key characteristic is providing an intense, mint-like cooling effect devoid of any distinct odor; consequently, it is widely utilized in fields such as food, oral care, and cosmetics.
Details
Name: Cooling Agent WS-10
CAS No.: 87061-04-9
Molecular Formula: C₁₃H₂₆O₃
Molecular Weight: 230.34
FEMA No.: 3784
Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid
Aroma Profile: Almost odorless, or possessing a faint minty scent
Cooling Intensity: Approximately 1.5 to 4.5 times that of menthol
Cooling Duration: 15–30 minutes; significantly longer than that of menthol
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water; readily soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol, oils, and propylene glycol
Flash Point: 172–177°C
Advantage
**Potent and Long-Lasting Cooling Sensation:** Its cooling intensity is more than 1.5 times that of menthol—with some
sources even citing a potency of up to 4.5 times—and the cooling sensation persists for 15 to 30 minutes, offering an effect
that lasts far longer than the fleeting stimulation provided by menthol.
**Virtually Odorless; Preserves Flavor Profiles:** WS-10 is nearly odorless; while delivering a cooling sensation, it does not
interfere with or mask the product's original aroma and flavor profile. This effectively overcomes the drawbacks associated
with menthol’s pungent odor and bitter taste.
**High Heat Stability and Versatility:** It remains stable at temperatures reaching up to 200°C, ensuring that its cooling
intensity is not compromised during high-temperature processing. This makes it ideally suited for baked goods
(such as cookies) and other products requiring heat during manufacturing.
**Gentle and Non-Irritating:** It exhibits significantly lower irritation potential to the skin and mucous membranes
compared to menthol, making it suitable for use in skincare products designed for sensitive skin, as well as in food and
oral care products that come into contact with the oral mucosa.
Main Applications
Food Industry: Used in products such as chewing gum, candies, jellies, beverages, and dairy items to provide a long-lasting,
refreshing cooling sensation; typical usage levels range from 10 to 1200 mg/kg.
Oral Care: An ideal choice for products like toothpaste and mouthwash, delivering a long-lasting, fresh sensation.
Cosmetics and Personal Care: Incorporated into lipsticks, skincare creams, sunscreens, facial cleansers, shampoos, and similar
products to impart a comfortable cooling sensation to the skin upon application.
Other Fields: Also applicable in products such as medicinal sprays (e.g., analgesics), cigarettes, and insect repellents.
