What are the safety data and MSDS status of zhike fruit peel oil?
Zhike fruit peel oil is supplied with an SDS (Safety Data Sheet) in GHS/CLP format in the language required for your market (EN, FR, DE, CN, etc.). Hazard profile for the natural distillate: classified as flammable liquid when the batch flash point is ≤60°C (typically 45-55°C for limonene-rich lots — confirm on the batch COA); may cause skin/eye irritation in concentrated form (consistent with citrus-oil irritancy); d-limonene and linalool are declared sensitisers for labelling purposes; not classified as acutely toxic, not a PBT/vPvB, no GHS classification for reproductive toxicity at natural use levels.Safe handling: use with ventilation, avoid contact with...
Which production standards does zhike fruit peel oil comply with?
There is no dedicated GB or ISO product standard for zhike (immature bitter-orange peel) oil; compliance is built from three layers. First, the raw material follows the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 monograph for Aurantii Fructus (Citrus aurantium L. and cultivated varieties, dried immature fruit). Second, processing and testing follow the Chinese essential-oil method standards: GB/T 11538-2006 (capillary GC analysis), GB/T 11540-2008 (relative density) and the GB/T 14454 series (refractive index, optical rotation, acid/ester values as applicable). Third, the product specification is an enterprise standard drafted on the bitter-orange peel / daidai family reference windows, with batch COA as the acceptance document.Sibling...
What is the production lead time for zhike fruit peel oil orders?
Lead time depends on stock and grade: stocked standard-grade oil ships in 3-5 working days after payment confirmation (sample-size orders often same-week); scheduled production runs for standard grade take 15-30 days from raw-material release; and special grades — food-declaration documentation sets, full third-party testing, organic/certified lots, custom packaging — run 30-45 days because they need separate line clearance, testing and certificate work.Raw-material timing matters more for zhike than for many oils: distillation runs are planned around dried-peel lots purchased after the summer (July-August) immature-fruit harvest, and year-round orders are served from stored botanical — we recommend confirming annual volumes early...
What is the production capacity for zhike fruit peel oil?
Capacity is raw-material-limited rather than still-limited: the constraint is the available dried zhike peel of controlled origin and grade, not distillation hours. G4S's cooperating distilleries can run the peel-oil campaign in parallel with the same-orchard flower and leaf lines (daidai flower/leaf programme), and typical annual supply commitments for a single customer range from tens of kilograms up to the tonne scale, subject to raw-material allocation.For planning: the summer harvest defines the year — new-crop zhike peel arrives July-August, drying and storage follow, and distillation campaigns are scheduled Q3-Q4 for new crop plus year-round re-distillation of stored peel for continuity. Because...
What factors influence the price of zhike fruit peel oil?
Six factors dominate: (1) raw-material cost and quality — zhike grade (medicinal-grade Aurantii Fructus commands a premium over commodity green peel), origin, and the consistency of the immature-fruit definition; (2) yield — dry zhike peel gives only ~1-3 g oil/kg, so labour, steam and batch time weigh heavily; (3) seasonality — new-crop lots after the summer harvest differ from year-round re-distillation of stored peel; (4) testing and documentation depth — GC-MS fingerprint, heavy-metal/pesticide panels, third-party lab, allergen quantification, food-declaration support; (5) certification and packaging — organic/halal/kosher, nitrogen blanketing, small-lot aluminium containers vs drums; (6) market context — citrus-oil price movements...
What physicochemical properties does zhike fruit peel oil have (density, refractive index, rotation, acid/ester value)?
Zhike fruit peel oil has no dedicated national product standard, so properties are defined per batch by enterprise specification. Indicative windows from Chinese trade sheets and published citrus data for this distillate family: relative density roughly 0.850-0.930 (20/20°C) — Chinese zhike/bitter-peel trade sheets commonly cite 0.900-0.930, while expressed ripe bitter-orange peel oil sits at 0.840-0.862 (a different article); refractive index about 1.465-1.480 (20°C); optical rotation is process- and maturity-dependent and must be taken from the batch COA (expressed bitter-orange peel runs +88° to +98°, but zhike steam distillate differs and should never be assumed equal); acid and ester values are...
How is zhike fruit peel oil used in perfumery?
In perfumery zhike fruit peel oil works as a natural citrus top-to-middle note with a distinctive dry, bitter-fresh peel character — lighter and less sweet than sweet orange, more 'zest-bitter' than mandarin, and closer to bitter orange peel with a faint herbaceous undertone. It shines in: fresh colognes and eau fraîche (citrus-herbal openings), fougère tops where it lifts lavender/geranium, woody-citrus masculines, unisex green fragrances, and natural-perfumery accords where synthetic citrus is excluded.Typical use: 1-5% of the fragrance concentrate in alcohol-based fine fragrance (natural accords may push higher); in soap and detergent perfumery it is used at functional levels where its...
What payment terms do you accept?
Standard terms for first orders: 30% T/T deposit with the proforma invoice, 70% balance against the scanned shipping documents (or before dispatch for small parcels), or an irrevocable L/C at sight for larger contract values. For sample orders payment is in advance (T/T or PayPal/Wise for small amounts).For established customers with a transaction history, negotiated terms are available — commonly Net 30-60 after shipment against a credit-approved account, and yearly-contract pricing with scheduled releases. All terms, currencies (USD preferred; EUR/CNY negotiable), bank details and Incoterms are fixed in the sales contract/proforma before production starts; no shipment is released before the...
Can zhike fruit peel oil be supplied with organic or natural certification?
Natural is inherent (steam-distilled, unadulterated — see the purity FAQ). Organic certification is possible but needs planning: the raw botanical must come from certified organic citrus orchards with the required conversion period, and the distillery must hold or work under an organic processing certificate covering the line and cleaning protocol. Chinese organic certification (GB/T 19630) and recognised international equivalence (EU/USDA/NOP routes) can be pursued for contracted volumes.Because certified organic zhike peel is scarce — immature fruit is a by-product of orchard thinning/green-fruit management, and most organic citrus programmes target the ripe fruit — we recommend locking the organic raw-material source...
