Quality Control

Our Pecan Oil is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for food and cosmetic applications. We ensure compliance with relevant guidelines, including those for food-grade oils. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each batch, detailing key parameters such as peroxide value, acid value, fatty acid profile, and absence of specific contaminants. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its nature of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize exposure to air after opening. Keep away from heat and ignition sources.
