Product Description
Cooling Agent WS-5 (N-[(ethoxycarbonyl)methyl]-p-menthane-3-carboxamide) is supplied at ≥99% as white crystalline powder, CAS 68489-14-5, with high cooling potency on supplier comparisons.
WS-5 carries fresh mint aroma on the sheet—unlike WS-23’s low-odor profile— and is used when strong, long cooling is needed in candy, oral care and topical products. Typical food tables cite roughly 30–100 mg/kg starting band.
Heat stability to about 200 °C and synergy with menthol or WS-23 are noted; regulatory status varies by market—confirm on COA/SDS.
Certificate logos on marketing pages must match the batch pack.

FAQ
WS-5 vs WS-3?
Supplier comparisons describe WS-5 as stronger initial impact and longer hold than WS-3—never swap at equal ppm.
WS-5 vs menthol?
Marketing cites stronger cooling without equal pungency—still contains mint aroma on the sheet; not for flavor-neutral systems.
Water-based serums?
Supplier FAQ suggests pre-dissolve in ethanol or PG then add—0.7% water solubility on sheet.
