Quality Control

Our Coriander Oil is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for food and fragrance applications. We ensure compliance with relevant industry specifications, including FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and ISO standards where applicable. Each batch is analyzed for key parameters such as organoleptic properties, specific gravity, refractive index, and major component profile (e.g., linalool content). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is available upon request to guarantee traceability and consistent quality.

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 highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to air, heat, or direct light should be avoided to maintain stability and shelf life. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
