Menthol Crystal is a food-grade natural or synthetic crystalline monoterpenol providing intense cooling sensation and minty aroma, the most widely used cooling compound in food, oral care and pharmaceutical applications.We supply bulk Menthol Crystal sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form for international food processing operations. Our Menthol Crystal is widely used in chewing gum cooling, mouthwash, pharmaceutical topical analgesics, lozenge formulations and personal care.
Menthol (L-menthol) is a cyclic monoterpene alcohol that activates the cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptor. This produces a characteristic cooling sensation.
Natural menthol is crystallised from dementholised mint oil (Mentha arvensis); synthetic menthol is produced from thymol or citronellal. It is the world's most consumed aroma chemical by volume, essential in confectionery, oral care, pharmaceuticals, tobacco and cosmetics.
