Quality Control

Our (9Z,12Z)-Octadeca-9,12-Dienoic Acid, Monoester With Glycerol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail specifications and results for key parameters. Quality standards can be tailored to meet specific requirements, including those for food-grade or pharmaceutical 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). Due to its nature as an unsaturated ester, this product is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation to maintain stability and prevent degradation.
