How do you ensure batch-to-batch consistency of this lime oil?
Consistency is controlled by releasing every lot against the same specification and comparing it to a retained reference profile. ControlsIdentical botanical source and process route lot to lot.Density and refractive index held inside 0.845-0.880 (20/20 °C) / 1.450-1.495 (20 °C).GC-MS fingerprint compared with the reference profile before release.Retention sample stored for re-test within the shelf life.If your application needs a tighter tolerance, G4S can select lots from the same source or blend to a target profile. Every shipment carries a lot number linking to the COA on file.
