Products Description
Introducing WS-23: A Refreshing Alternative to Menthol
If you're tired of using traditional menthol in your products, you're in luck. WS-23, also known as N,2,3-trimethyl-2-(1-methylethyl)butanamide or N,2,3. Trimethyl-2-isopropylbutanamide is an excellent menthol alternative that is taking the market by storm. This colorless and odorless compound has a molecular formula of C10H21NO and a molecular weight of 171.29.
The WS-23 is a popular choice among manufacturers due to its unique features. One of its outstanding features is its refreshing long-lasting effect that instantly cools your mouth and throat. It's also non-irritating, meaning it won't cause any discomfort even when used in high concentrations. Unlike menthol, WS-23 has no bitterness, making it the first choice for any product that requires a cooling effect without compromising on taste.
Another advantage of WS-23 is that it requires a lower dose than menthol, making it a more cost-effective and attractive option. It is suitable for a wide variety of products including food, beverages, confectionery, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and tobacco products. Its versatility has made it increasingly popular in various industries.
In the food and beverage industry, WS-23 is used to enhance the flavor of products such as chewing gum, toothpaste and mints. It provides a cooling sensation that consumers prefer. In addition, WS-23 can be used in chocolate and dairy products to eliminate waxy taste and improve the consistency of products to provide a creamier texture.
In the cosmetic industry, WS-23 is used to provide a cooling effect in products such as face and body lotions, shampoos and body washes. It relieves itching, redness, and prevents an oily or itchy scalp. This makes WS-23 an important ingredient in products marketed as "boosters".
WS-23 has also found its way into tobacco products. It can be used as a menthol substitute in cigarettes, giving smokers a cooling and soothing sensation when inhaled. Using WS-23 as a menthol substitute also benefits smokers who don't want to inhale actual menthol, which has been linked to various health effects over the years.
All in all, WS-23 is a great alternative to menthol and can bring a cool and refreshing feel to the product. Its versatility makes it suitable for several industries, making it one of the most sought after coolants on the market. With its clean, long-lasting, and non-irritating pungent profile, WS-23 is an ingredient companies should consider using to enhance the quality of their products.

The Difference of Cooling Agent Powder
AOGUBIO WS-3 Cyclohexanecarboxamide,N-Ethyl-5-Methyl-2- (1Methylethyl)
WS-3 is a menthol derivative. But unlike menthol, WS-3 is virtually nonvolatile, odorless and tasteless. WS-3 is one of the most used cooling agents in the market and it’s known for its clean immediate cooling impact and has been found to cool primarily at the roof of the mouth, the back of the mouth and the back of the tongue.
AOGUBIO WS-5 N-(Ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-3-p-menthanecarboxamide
WS-5 is a menthol derivative that was developed in the 1970s by Wilkinson Sword, but was not commercialized due to a bitter aftertaste associated with the product. However, we have developed a patented process to offer substantially pure WS-5 that does not possess the bitter aftertaste present in previous forms of the product. WS-5 has been found to have approximately two and one-half times the cooling intensity of WS-3, it is one of the strongest commercially available coolants, yet exhibits a smooth and round flavor profile. WS-5 has been found to cool primarily at the roof of the mouth and the back of the tongue.
AOGUBIO WS-12 (1R,2S,5R)-N-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-2- (1methylethyl)cyclohexanecarboxamide
WS-12 is a menthol derivative. But unlike menthol, WS-12 is virtually nonvolatile, odorless and tasteless. WS-12 offers one of the strongest initial cooling impacts and a significantly longer lasting effect comparing with such conventional coolants such as WS-3, WS-5, and WS-23. It has potential for use in mint flavors in oral care applications as well as confectionary and chewing gum depending on dosage levels. In addition it can be used at low levels to impart freshness into berry, citrus and other fruit flavors in a variety of applications. WS-12 has been found to cool primarily at the front of the tongue.
AOGUBIO WS-23 Butanamide, N,2,3-trimethyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-
in the front of the tongue and mouth. While the product has somewhat less cooling impact than that of WS-3, the cooling profile is more round and smooth in character.
WS-23 is not derived from menthol. But like WS-3, it exhibits little or no odor or taste and has a low volatility. Sensory evaluations of WS-23 indicate that the product cools more.
Menthyl Lactate
Propanoic acid, 2-Hydroxy-,5-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl) cyclohexyl ester
Menthyl Lactate is also a menthol derivative. The product has a mild mint-like character, with a fresh and invigorating profile. In addition to use in flavor applications, the product is also widely used in cosmetics and personal care applications. Our product is offered in fused form.
Cooling Intensity
We have evaluated two basic attributes of cooling agents: cooling at onset and cooling longevity. Sensory attributes of coolants were evaluated at 20 ppm in ethanol. Menthol was used as a reference in measuring the overall cooling
intensity. WS-5 has been found to have approximately four times the cooling intensity of menthol. The desired intensity of sensory perception and duration will depend on factors such as coolant concentration, flavor interactions and other formula attributes.
Solubility
AOGUBIO cooling agents are sparingly soluble in water. They are soluble in ethanol, propylene glycol, flavor systems
and fragrance oils.
| WS-23 | With mint aroma, it can burst in the month, strong impact on the month. |
| WS-3 | It occurs slowly coolifeeling in the month, at the back of mouth and tongue. |
| WS-12 | With Peppermint aroma, in the aral cavity explosive force is weak, enters the throat place to highlight the cooling feeling, the advantage is the duration is longer. |
| WS-5 | It has Peppermint aroma and highest cool flavor activity, acting on the entire oral mucosa, throat and nose. |
| The cooling effect | WS-5>WS-12>WS-3>WS-23 |
