Quality Control

Our Carawayoil is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for food, flavor, and fragrance applications. We ensure compliance with relevant pharmacopoeial monographs (where applicable) and industry specifications. Every batch is analyzed for key markers including organoleptic properties, refractive index, specific gravity, and major component profile (e.g., Carvone and Limonene content). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and purity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
