Quality Control

Our cis-3-Hexenyl 2-Methyl-2-Pentenoate is produced and tested under strict quality management systems to ensure consistency and purity for flavor and fragrance applications. Each batch is analyzed to confirm identity, strength, and the absence of undesirable impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as purity, odor, and chromatographic profile 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, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its nature as an ester that is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability and to minimize degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
