The invention relates to a cooling agent and a synthesis method thereof. The synthesis method of the cooling agent comprises the following steps of 1, cleaning up a reactor by an
ethanol solution, and removing air in the reactor, 2, adding an
ethanol solution as a reaction
solvent,
umbelliferone and a Pd / C catalyst into the reactor, feeding
hydrogen into the reactor, and heating for a reaction lasting for 6 to 8 hours, and 3, removing the Pd / C catalyst, adding NaBH4 into the product obtained by the step 2 for a sequential reaction, acidizing the reacted mixture obtained by the sequential reaction, carrying out extraction by
ether to obtain extract, and carrying out reduced pressure
distillation of the extract to obtain the cooling agent, wherein the cooling agent comprises four 1-
isopropyl-4-methylbicyclo[3.1.0]-hexyl-2-
alcohol structural isomers. The cooling agent has a gentle cool taste, long time of duration, obviously low
irritation on the laryngeal, an obviously slight dry
sensation, and a very strong moistening feel.
