Overview of DL-Menthol FG

DL-Menthol FG is a food-grade mint cooling ingredient used in flavours, confectionery, oral-care products, and refreshing personal-care formulas. It offers a strong minty-fresh aroma and a pronounced cooling sensation.

Because it is a cost-effective mint cooling agent, it is preferred when consistent cooling and aroma performance are required across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.

Applications of DL-Menthol FG

1. Flavour & Confectionery

  • Widely used for flavour and confectionery, especially in chewing gums, candies, breath-freshener sweets, and cooling syrups.

  • Provides long-lasting freshness and a clean mint aftertaste.
  • Blends well with cooling compounds like WS-23 and natural mint oils.

3. Personal Care

  • Gives a refreshing minty fresh aroma for shampoo and shower gel.
