Quality Control

Our Buriti Oil is sourced and processed under strict quality protocols to ensure purity, authenticity, and batch-to-batch consistency. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including organoleptic evaluation, specific gravity, refractive index, peroxide value, acid value, and fatty acid profile analysis (by GC). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these 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, dry place at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). As this oil is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation, especially after opening the original container. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
