Description
L-Menthone Glycerol Ketal (CAS 63187-91-7, EC 408-200-3) is a cyclic ketal derived from menthone and glycerol, commercially available under the trade name Frescolat MGA and registered under FEMA 3807. It delivers a sustained cooling and fresh sensation without the sharp intensity of menthol.
In oral care and confectionery applications, L-Menthone Glycerol Ketal functions as a flavoring agent that activates cold-sensitive receptors, producing a prolonged cooling effect that outlasts conventional menthol. In personal care formulations such as lip balms and skin cooling gels, it provides a mild, non-irritating freshness at low use concentrations.
This ingredient is supplied as a thick oil and is evaluated under FEMA GRAS status, making it suitable for food and flavoring applications in compliant markets. It falls under REACH regulation for EU supply. Procurement teams should confirm grade specifications and packaging formats directly with the supplier.
