Cooling Agents for Beverage
From energy drinks to distilled spirits, WS-series coolants add a clean physical coolness that menthol cannot: no minty aroma, no bitterness, no burn – just a refreshing lift that lets your flavor lead.
Why Beverage Formulators Switch from Menthol
Menthol brings aroma, volatility and bitterness along with its cooling. WS-series agents are virtually odorless and tasteless, water-soluble at use levels, and stable through pasteurization and hot-fill. The cooling reads as a physical sensation – colder, fresher, smoother – without changing your declared flavor profile.
Recommended Grades
| Grade | Typical Dosage | Character in Beverage |
|---|---|---|
| WS-3 | ~10-30 mg/kg | Clean, balanced mouth cooling; the all-rounder |
| WS-23 | ~10 mg/kg | Fast burst, quick fade – energy drinks and RTD teas |
| WS-10 | ~10 mg/kg | Liquid, heat-stable, long cool tail; easy handling |
Where It Works
Soft & Functional Drinks
Ice tea, coffee and functional beverages gain a fresh, cold signature that survives storage.
Energy Drinks
WS-23’s fast onset pairs with caffeine’s lift for an immediate refreshing impact.
Beer & Spirits
A physical coolness that complements crisp lagers and chilled spirits without aroma interference.
