| Chemical Properties |
white to light yellow crystal powde |
| Chemical Properties |
(-)-Menthyl lactate is a white, crystalline substance giving a physiological cooling sensation on the skin and mucosa. It is used to create neutral cooling effects in cosmetic or oral care preparations.
The material is prepared by esterification of menthol with lactic acid. |
| Uses |
L-Menthyl Lactate is used in preparation of amides for generating a trigeminal sensory effect. |
| Aroma threshold values |
Aroma characteristics at 1.0%: menthol-like, cooling with a sweet salicylate nuance. |
| Taste threshold values |
Taste characteristics at 25 ppm: a mouthwash-like effect with an aromatic mentholic coolness. |
