Abstract: A kind of ascorbic acid derivates 3-O-glyco-L-ascorbic acid, their preparation methods, intermediates and uses in cosmetics. The derivates used as vitamin C precursors have better physiological effect than 2-O-?-D-glucopyranosyl ascorbic acid (AA-2G) and are more stable. Present compounds can be used in many fields, such as in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs and livestock feed, and especially as whitening agents in cosmetics. The preparation method involves protecting the 5,6-dihydroxyl of ascorbic acid, then coupling with 1-haloacylglycosyl, obtaining the intermediate 3-O-(acylglycosyl)-(5,6-O-isopropylidine)-L-ascorbic acid, removing the isopropylidine and acyl from the intermediates, thereby obtaining the target substance.
Abstract: Disclosed here is a composition containing menthol and menthyl lactate, and its preparation method and its applications as a cooling agent and a flavoring agent. The present invention provides a composition characterized in that it comprises menthol and menthyl lactate in a ratio by weight in the range of 1:4˜4:1 and the corresponding crystallization point is below room temperature of 25° C. Such composition has the advantages of being liquid at room temperature; easy to use as a cooling agent or a flavoring agent; no need to use heat to melt menthol and menthyl lactate, which not only saves time, money and heating equipment, but also simplifies manufacturing process and can be used in cold processes at room temperature.
