Stabilised Menthol Powder
The ultimate menthol solution
Packed with intense flavour, easy to use and cost effective: Stabilised Menthol Powder is the next generation menthol flavouring for chewing gum, confectionery and a wide range of other mentholated products.
The days of having to choose between flavour impact or processing ease for your menthol products are over. Our next generation product combines the handling benefits normally confined to spray dried products with the intense flavour impact traditionally only obtained with menthol crystals.
Stabilised Menthol Powder is the natural way forward for manufacturers of menthol products. Made from natural menthol crystals, Stabilised Menthol Powder contains up to 95% menthol. It enables manufacturers to use less product for more flavour and enjoy the cost advantages.

Delivering high-powered flavour
TasteTech Stabilised Menthol Powder delivers up to 5 times the flavour concentration of conventional spray dried menthol. The intensity arises from the concentration. Stabilised Menthol Powder is approximately 95% pure menthol compared to a typical spray dried product of around 20% menthol by volume. In addition, the fine particle size ensures a large surface area for flavour release, ensuring high impact.
Delivering ease of handling
TasteTech Stabilised Menthol Powder is a free-flowing powder which can be added directly to your formulations with minimal additional processing. Until now, manufacturers requiring menthol flavour intensity have chosen to use melted menthol crystals. It is not a perfect solution. The melting will often be an additional processing stage. What is more, hot melt menthol is a volatile liquid with an overpowering smell and a tendency to recrystallise, making handling unpleasant and difficult.
Stabilised Menthol Powder delivers the flavour intensity of the melted crystals but has none of the processing drawbacks.
Delivering versatility in application
TasteTech Stabilised Menthol Powder is well suited to a wide variety of applications. Originally designed for use in chewing gum applications, it is also proving popular within other markets such as pharmaceutical, oral and personal care. It can be used in place of menthol crystals and spray dried menthol in existing products across these sectors. At the same time, Stablised Menthol Powder is enabling product innovations which capitalise on the small particle size and lack of added bulk.

Specialist Technology
Stabilised Menthol Powder is produced from natural menthol crystals using TasteTech encapsulation technology which creates stabilised menthol particles to resist recrystallisation. We specialise in encapsulation processes designed to help increase the longevity of flavour, sweetness and acidity in chewing gum.
