  • Publication number: 20110159141
    Abstract: Edible compositions, including chewing gums, confectioneries, and beverages, include particular cooling agents that may be used alone, in combination with each other, or in combination with other cooling agents. The cooling agents may, optionally, be treated to modify their release profile. The edible compositions provide a pleasant cooling sensation while reducing or eliminating undesirable characteristics associated with the use of menthol alone as a cooling agent.
