Quality Control

Our 1-Terpinen-4-Yl Acetate is produced and tested to meet the stringent requirements of the flavor and fragrance industry. We employ rigorous analytical methods including GC, GC-MS, and IR spectroscopy to ensure identity, purity, and organoleptic quality. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, specific rotation, and chromatographic profile are available upon request for every batch, supporting compliance with relevant standards such as FCC and IFRA.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its highly volatile nature, keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain quality.
