Description

Ocimene Mixture Of Isomers is a naturally occurring acyclic monoterpene hydrocarbon, recognized for its characteristic woody, herbal aroma. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its role in the synthesis of complex fragrance molecules and flavoring agents. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and specialty chemical industries for creating sophisticated aromatic profiles and as a building block in organic synthesis.

Application

• Fragrance & Perfumery: A key ingredient and intermediate for creating fresh, green, and citrusy top notes in fine perfumes, colognes, and personal care products.
• Flavoring Agent: Used in the formulation of natural and synthetic flavors to impart herbal and woody nuances to food and beverage products.
• Aromatherapy & Essential Oils: A component in essential oil blends and aromatherapy products for its uplifting and refreshing aromatic properties.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a valuable starting material or intermediate in the organic synthesis of more complex terpenoids and fine chemicals.
• Agrochemicals: Investigated for use in the formulation of botanical insecticides and as a semiochemical due to its natural occurrence in plants.
• Industrial & Functional Fluids: Potential applications as a renewable feedstock or additive in specialty solvents and green chemical formulations.

Quality Control

Our Ocimene Mixture Of Isomers is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing including Gas Chromatography (GC) and other relevant methods. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer ratio, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its nature as an easily oxidized compound, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation of quality. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (36-46°F) for optimal stability.
