I. Food industry: flavor enhancement and natural preservation
Gum and candy: give a signature cool and sweet fragrance (such as "Green Arrow" gum), mask the bitter taste after sweeteners
Beverages: used in mint tea, mojito, soda (such as 7-Up), provide a refreshing tone
Dairy products: added to ice cream and yogurt to balance the heavy feeling of milk fat
Meat product preservation: inhibit Listeria/Escherichia coli (MIC of carvone=0.1%), extend the shelf life of cold fresh meat
II. Daily chemicals and personal care: fresh feeling and functional enhancement
Oral care
Toothpaste/mouthwash: provide long-lasting fresh breath (carvone antibacterial rate reaches 99.2% vs. Streptococcus mutans), reduce dental plaque formation.
Compatibility advantage: synergistic with eucalyptol, the cooling feeling is increased by 40% without irritating the mucosa.
Care products
Shampoo: add 0.2-0.5% to relieve scalp itching (inhibit Malassezia), and the oil control effect is significant.
Shower gel: neutralizes sweat odor and leaves a lasting fragrance (better skin adsorption than peppermint oil).
Functional additives
Mosquito repellent products: compounded with citronellal (4:1), the repellency rate for Aedes mosquitoes reaches 85% (lasting for 4 hours).
Antipruritic ointment: instantly cools through TRPM8 receptors to relieve itching caused by mosquito bites.
FDA GRAS certification (carvone in food ≤500 ppm)
EFSA daily intake (ADI) is 0.6 mg/kg bw (based on carvone hepatotoxicity)
IFRA cosmetics limit concentration ≤3.9% (rinse type)/≤0.6% (residual type)
China GB food additive maximum use: candy 0.1g/kg; beverage 0.05g/kg (GB 2760-2014)
