WS-5 Cooling Agent 10%
WS-5 is a high-intensity cooling agent designed to deliver an exceptionally powerful and long-lasting cooling sensation without the taste, aroma, or flavour characteristics of menthol. Recognized as one of the strongest cooling agents available, WS-5 provides a deep, penetrating cooling effect that is primarily perceived on the palate, mouth, and throat, making it ideal for applications requiring maximum freshness and impact.
Unlike traditional cooling ingredients, WS-5 offers superior cooling efficiency at very low dosage levels, allowing formulators to achieve intense cooling while preserving the integrity of the intended flavour profile. Its clean sensory character, excellent stability, and prolonged cooling duration make it a preferred choice for premium oral care products, confectionery, beverages, and specialized flavour systems.
Key Features:
- Extremely powerful cooling effect
- No mint flavour, odour, or bitterness
- Long-lasting sensory impact
- Effective at very low inclusion levels
- Excellent flavour compatibility
- High thermal and formulation stability
- Suitable for food, beverage and oral care
The WS-series cooling agents are coolants originally developed to provide a cooling sensation without the strong mint flavour and aroma of menthol. The main differences between WS-3, WS-5, WS-12, and WS-23 are their cooling intensity, onset speed, duration, and where the cooling is perceived in the mouth/throat.
