It sends the same message to the brain and the brain cannot distinguish between them, so menthol feels cool. This same receptor reacts to cool temperatures. This process creates an action potential which then sends a message to the brain. Doing this opens a pore, then calcium ions move into the cell.

The reason mint feels cool on your tongue is 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol (proper name of menthol) binds to a receptor site on sensory neurons, the TRPM8 receptor. Peppermint oil is used to flavor the candy and give it its minty taste. Water is added to dilute the sugar and is boiled out afterwards. It also stops the candy from being transparent. Crystallization would cause the candy to have a grainy appearance and brittle structure which is to be avoided. Corn syrup is added to stop sugar from crystallizing. The decomposition formula for sucrose is: C12H22O11 + heat → 3CO2 + 5H2O + 6H2. Sucrose actually does not melt at high temperatures, it actually decomposes at around 186☌ and forms a caramelly syrup. The sugar is melted and becomes a workable syrup which can be manipulated. Mint candies/Candy Canes are made mostly of sugar. The cane or beet is smashed and juiced, then the juice is eventually made into sugar crystals through heat and purification. It is soluble in water and although naturally occurring, it can synthesized in a lab. Sucrose is naturally occurring, it is found in sugar canes and sugar beets. Sugars are carbohydrates that are made of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. The molecule is a disaccharide and has a combination of the monosaccharides with glucose and fructose. It is a single isomer (2 or more compounds with the same formula but a different arrangement of atoms). Sugars are white, odorless, crystals that have a sweet taste. It is made of one molecule of glucose and one of fructose. Sucrose is a disaccharide (double sugar). It is extracted by steam distillation from the fresh plant with a yield for 1%. Peppermint oil is naturally occurring and can be extracted from a peppermint leaves. Menthone is a naturally occurring compound and a monoterpene and a ketone. It can be extracted from mint leaves with the use of distillation. Menthol is obtained from mint oils but can be made synthetically. It is a solid but can slightly melt above room temperature. Menthol is a waxy, clear, crystalline substance. The two main components of peppermint oil are menthol and menthone. The components of peppermint oil are menthol C10H20O, menthone C10H18O, methyl acetate CH₃COOCH₃, isomenthone C10H18O, limonene C10H16, b-pinene C10H16, menthofuran C10H14O, a-pinene C10H16, germacrene-d C15H24, trans-sabinene hydrate C10H18O, and pulegone C10H16O.
