Description
Menthol Flavoring provides a distinct icy mint taste with a sharp, clean cooling finish. Unlike sweet mint or peppermint profiles, menthol is recognized for its pronounced cooling character, making it useful in recipes where a refreshing sensation is more important than sugary mint notes. It can be incorporated into compatible beverages, confectionery, chocolate, syrups, and specialty food applications.
Available in Oil Based and PG Based formulations, this flavoring offers different carrier options for different recipe compositions. The PG Based version is suited to compatible water-based mixtures, while the Oil Based version is intended for compatible fat-based applications.
