Quality Control

Every batch of our 3-[(2,5-Dihydro-2-Methyl-3-Furyl)Thio]Tetrahydro-2-Methylfuran-3-Thiol is produced and tested under strict quality management systems. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards for flavor ingredients. Comprehensive testing includes identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to maintain purity and prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
