Quality Control

Our Allyl Caprylate is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality parameters are verified against established internal specifications and relevant industry guidelines, including those for flavor ingredients. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and physical constants is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. This material is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize oxidation and preserve quality.
