Abstract
The invention is rooted in the food industry and relates to a composition which provides a physiologically cooling effect for imparting freshness in the used preparations and comprises 2 to 10% cooling agent (A), 0 to 35% alcohol (B), 55 to 95% hydrophobic compound (C). Furthermore, the invention relates to the production and use of the composition according to the invention in oral preparations, in particular chewing gums and sweets.

A method for producing granulate particles that provide a cooling effect to oral preparations comprising:
- (I) obtaining a carrier mixture (A);
- (II) mixing (a), (b), and (c) at a temperature of 40° C. to 100° C. to form a homogenous mixture (B), wherein (a) is completely dissolved in the homogenous mixture (B), wherein mixture (B) comprises:
- (a) 2 to 15 wt. %, based on the total weight of the mixture (B) of a cooling agent selected from the group the group consisting of:

- (b) 10 to 35 wt. %, based on the total weight of the mixture (B), of an alcohol selected from the group consisting of ethanol and 1,2-propanediol;
- and
- (c) 60 to 80 wt. %, based on the total weight of the mixture (B), of peppermint oil, carvone, or a neutral oil having a content of 50-65% caprylic acid and 30-45% capric acid;

- (IV) spray granulating the final mixture;
- and
- (V) obtaining granulate particles having an average particle size of 0.3 mm to 0.9 mm;
- wherein the granulate particles comprise 10 to 30 wt. % of components from mixture (B), based on the total weight of the granulate particles.
