Abstract
Coolant compositions, flavorant compositions and ingestible and topical compositions containing at least one coolant compound selected from monomenthyl succinate, alkali metal salts of monomenthyl succinate, alkaline earth metal salts of monomenthyl succinate and mixtures thereof. These compositions are found to provide a pleasant, long-lasting cooling effect without bitterness and the cooling effect manifests itself differently than the cooling effect of other known coolants. As a result, a complementary or synergistic effect can by obtained by combination with other coolants. Further, the succinate-based coolant compounds of the invention are found to enhance the sensation of alcohol in alcoholic beverages.
