Quality Control

Our (R)-3,7-Dimethyloct-6-Enyl Butyrate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by GC or HPLC, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for the flavor and fragrance industry. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess are available upon request.

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). This material is easily oxidized and should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to maintain stability and purity.
