Menthyl acetate has a wide range of uses in different industries. In the fragrance and flavor industry, it is a popular ingredient. Its minty scent makes it a great addition to perfumes, colognes, and after - shave lotions. It can impart a refreshing and cooling note to the fragrance products, enhancing their overall appeal.
In the food and beverage industry, menthyl acetate is used as a flavoring agent. It can be added to chewing gums, candies, and beverages to provide a minty flavor.
