Product description | L-menthyl lactate (L-Menthyl lactate) is a mint derivative with white needle-like crystals, almost no aroma, cool and lasting, with a cooling effect, is the best substitute for Mint, with long-lasting, tasteless, non-irritating characteristics, widely used in cosmetics, skin care products, washing products, tobacco, food, beverage, candy, mint water, medicine and other products, to overcome the limitations of the cooling products can only be mint flavor, the user can prepare a variety of flavor cooling products to suit different market concepts. In the application of cigarette products, so that smoking oral left fresh feeling, dosage: 0.005% ~ 0.05%. FEMA #3748. |
preparation method | with menthol and L-lactic acid as raw materials, with cyclohexane with water, after esterification, L-menthyl lactate was refined, and the effects of reaction time, molar ratio of alcohol to acid and amount of catalyst on the reaction were studied. The preferential process conditions were determined as follows: n (menthol):n(L-lactic acid) = 1.2:1.0, the catalyst is 2% of the total weight of the raw material, cyclohexane is heated to reflux with water, reaction 6h, vacuum distillation to 120 ℃/400 PA. The residue is recrystallized, A white needle-like crystalline product was obtained with a yield of more than 80% and a purity of 99%.
