Quality Control

Our Caryophyllene Oxide is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed using advanced techniques like GC and GC-MS to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all relevant specifications. Our quality commitment ensures the product meets the stringent requirements for use in flavor, fragrance, and research applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
