What is menthyl lactate?
Menthyl Lactate Also known as 2-hydroxypropionic acid-5-methyl-2-isopropylcyclohexyl), menthyl lactate, menthyl lactate, (-)-menthol lactate, 2-hydroxypropionic acid-5- Methyl-2-isopropyl cyclohexyl ester is a mint derivative, which is a cooling product. In the past, the formulators could only use mint for cooling products, and there was no other choice. However, mint is very volatile and irritating, resulting in a strong and short cooling effect, and covers the smell of essence due to its special mint flavor. In response to market gaps, a long-lasting odorless cooling agent is introduced: menthyl lactate, which has a slight minty aroma and tastes almost tasteless, but with a long-lasting, pleasant cooling effect, it is recognized as excellent without adverse effects Cooling agents with reactions such as burning, irritation, and tingling are mainly used in products such as daily chemical products, pharmaceutical preparations, oral products, and candies.
Efficacy: Peppermint Lactate can replenish moisture on the skin surface, achieve a cooling effect, be easily absorbed by the skin, and improve skin problems. It is not recommended to use it for a long time when using mint lactate. If you use it for a long time, it may lead to drug resistance in the skin, and it may also cause thinning of the stratum corneum of the skin. You must do a good job in skin care at ordinary times, avoid strong ultraviolet rays to irradiate the skin, and at the same time strengthen protein intake, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh fruits and vegetables contain more trace elements and vitamins , can increase the skin's anti-oxidation effect and reduce the formation of spots.
Process: The preparation process of menthyl lactate was studied, and the influence of the amount of materials, catalyst amount, reaction temperature, reaction time and refining method on the product was investigated, and the optimal process conditions were obtained: the ratio of the amount of alkyd to acid was 1.2 , the amount of catalyst used is 3% of the total amount of raw materials, the reaction temperature is 90%, the reaction time is 3h, and the refining method is short-path distillation. Under the optimal process conditions, the yield can reach more than 70%, and the product has pure aroma.
Nursing research: Menthyl lactate was synthesized by direct esterification with fermented lactic acid and natural menthol as main raw materials, and the influence of water-carrying agent selection, feeding ratio, reaction temperature and reaction time on the reaction conversion rate was discussed in the synthesis process The experimental results show that, with carbon tetrachloride as water carrier, m (lactic acid): m (menthol) = 1.2: 1, 110 ° C for 3 hours, the conversion rate of menthol to menthyl lactate can reach 75.5%. The product is reduced After pressure distillation and recrystallization treatment, the mass fraction reached 99.6%. It was used as a cooling agent in the formulation of shower gel, skin care lotion, talcum powder and other personal care chemicals, and its performance was compared with traditional cooling agent menthol. The results show that this product is applied in personal care products, and it is milder and longer lasting than menthol in terms of cooling effect and feeling on human skin.
Outlook: Menthyl Lactate has a mild, cool and fresh minty aroma with a hint of burnt sugar and a sweet menthol taste profile. It can be used in a variety of products that use mint flavors, such as toothpaste, chewing gum, and tobacco, as well as in confectionary, beverages, and as a mint flavor enhancer in oral care products. Menthyl lactate (1-lactate-1-menthyl) has been considered a synthetic cooling agent for many years, although it can be prepared from natural starting materials such as 1-menthol and 1-lactic acid.
