  • It is particularly suited for hard candies, throat lozenges, toothpaste, and similar products.
  • When combined with peppermint oil or menthol, the cooling intensity is significantly enhanced.

Features & Benefits

  • WS-5 delivers the strongest cooling effect among cooling agents, with an intensity approximately 3–4 times that of menthol and about two and a half times that of WS-3, while maintaining a smooth and rounded flavour profile.​
  • Offers superior stability compared to menthol and other traditional cooling agents, making it ideal for formulations requiring consistent and prolonged cooling.
  • Generally recognised as safe (GRAS) for use in food, cosmetics, and personal care products when applied within recommended concentrations.
  • Key process control focuses on bitterness elimination to ensure optimal sensory quality.
  • Cooling sensation primarily targets the roof of the mouth and the back of the tongue.​
