Menthyl ethylamido oxalate
Description
Menthyl ethylamido oxalate (CAS 1122460-01-8), commercially known as Frescolat X-Cool, is a synthetic cooling agent used in flavor and fragrance formulations. It delivers a long-lasting, clean cooling sensation without the sharpness associated with menthol.
This makes it a preferred alternative in applications where a milder, more sustained effect is required. In personal care, it is incorporated into lip balms, toothpastes, shampoos, and skin care products to provide a cooling sensory effect.
This ingredient enhances consumer perception of freshness across various topical applications. Food and beverage formulators use it in chewing gums, mints, and confectionery where a smooth, extended cooling profile is commercially desirable.
Pharmaceutical oral care products, including lozenges and mouthwashes, rely on it to mask bitterness and improve palatability. Fragrance blenders also incorporate it into fine fragrance and functional fragrance applications to add a fresh dimension.
Menthyl ethylamido oxalate is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder. It is available in cosmetic-grade and food-grade specifications to meet regulatory requirements across personal care and food applications.
Packaging is typically offered in kilogram quantities suitable for laboratory-scale development through to commercial production volumes. Our material ensures consistent performance and high purity for demanding industrial formulations.
