Quality Control

Our (+)-R-Limonene is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure high enantiomeric purity and chemical consistency, meeting the rigorous demands of pharmaceutical and flavor/fragrance applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific parameters such as assay, optical rotation, and impurity profile are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation.
