Quality Control

Our (Z)-3,7-Dimethylocta-2,6-Dienyl 2-Methylbutyrate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with in-house specifications and relevant industry standards for flavor and fragrance applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a 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) for long-term stability and to minimize headspace in partially used containers. Keep away from strong acids, strong oxidizers, and heat sources.
