Abstract: A method of providing a cooling effect to a product includes the incorporation into the product of at least one compound of the formula I in which m is a number between 0 and 2, X, Y and Z are selected independently from the group consisting of H, halogen, OH, Me, Et, MeO and EtO, and R1, R2 and R3 together comprise at least 6 carbons, selected such that (a) (i) R1 is selected from the group consisting of H, Me, Et, isopropyl and C4-C5 branched alkyl; and (ii) R2 and R3 are independently selected from the group consisting of Me, Et, isopropyl and C4-branched alkyl; or (b) any two or all of R1, R2 and R3 together form a monocyclic, bicyclic or tricyclic radical having up to 10 carbons. The compounds confer substantial cooling effects on compositions applied to the skin or taken orally, such as toothpastes, mouthwashes, foodstuffs, beverages, confectionery, tobacco products, skin creams and ointments.

Abstract: A method of providing a cooling sensation to the skin or mucous membranes of the mouth by applying thereto a quantity of at least one chemical compound sufficient to cause a desirable degree of cooling sensation, the chemical compound comprising a compound of formula I: in which R1, R2 are independently in either the meta- or para-position and independently comprise at least one of hydrogen, halide, C1-C3 alkyl (linear or branched), halide, C1-C3 alkoxy, nitro, nitrile, amide or ester; R3 comprises at least one of C1-C5 alkyl or C1-C5 alkenyl groups (linear or branched), R4 comprises at least one of hydrogen, C1-C3 alkyl (linear or branched), or a halide. The cooling effect provided is in some instances superior to that achievable by any of the known commercial cooling agents.
