Quality Control

Our Hex-3-Enyl Isobutyrate is produced and tested to meet the stringent requirements of the flavor and fragrance industry. Quality is assured through rigorous in-process and final batch testing, including analysis by GC, GC-MS, and IR spectroscopy to ensure identity, purity, and organoleptic consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer content, and physical constants are provided with each shipment. Our quality management system supports compliance with relevant standards, including FEMA GRAS and IFRA guidelines.

Storage

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