Quality Control

Our Perilla Leaf Oil is produced and handled under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets specifications for identity, purity, and composition. Key parameters such as fatty acid profile (with emphasis on ALA content), peroxide value, and acid value are monitored. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its nature as an oil rich in polyunsaturated fats, it is easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, heat, or light should be avoided to maintain stability and shelf life.
