Quality Control

Our Geranyl-2-Ethylbutyrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and HPLC analysis, to ensure high purity and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) upon request, detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles. Our production adheres to industry best practices suitable for flavor, fragrance, and cosmetic applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). This material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) when in partially filled containers to maintain stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
