Quality Control

Our trans-3-Hexenyl Acetate is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, isomer purity, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment aligns with industry standards for fragrance and flavor ingredients, including those relevant to FEMA and IFRA guidelines.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) when in partially filled containers to maintain stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
