Quality Control

Our Fema 2310 is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system to ensure it meets the high standards required by the flavor, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industries. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We can supply grades compliant with FEMA, FCC, and Kosher standards, with documentation to support your regulatory and safety requirements (e.g., REACH, FDA).

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being easily oxidized and highly volatile, 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.
