Quality Control

Our Methyl Pamplemousse is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure organoleptic consistency and purity. Each batch is analyzed using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques to verify identity, strength, and the absence of undesirable impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, optical purity, and olfactory profile is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at 15-25°C. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening and minimize headspace to preserve fragrance integrity and shelf life. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
