Quality Control

Our Fennel Oil is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for food, flavor, and nutraceutical applications. We ensure compliance with relevant pharmacopoeial monographs (such as USP/NF, Ph. Eur.) and food-grade specifications (FCC).

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen headspace) after opening to maximize shelf life and preserve organoleptic properties. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
