Quality Control

Our Calcium Cinnamate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and safety. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, heavy metal content, and loss on drying. We can support compliance with relevant standards for food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality and handling properties.
