How consistent are batches of this green mandarin oil?
Green mandarin oil is a crop product, so batches are never identical — but they are held inside tight, measurable windows. We blend and release against ISO 3528:2012 Green and FCC 12 limits, so density, RI, and the key components stay in a narrow band across production runs.
What We Control per Batch
| Parameter | Target window | Typical batch-to-batch spread |
|---|---|---|
| Relative density (20°C) | 0.845-0.860 | ± 0.004 |
| Refractive index (20°C) | 1.473-1.479 | ± 0.002 |
| Optical rotation (20°C) | +60° to +105° | ± 5° |
| D-Limonene | 65-75% | ± 3% |
| Gamma-Terpinene | 16-22% | ± 2% |
| Peroxide value | ≤ 2.0 meq O2/kg | fresh lots typically < 1.0 |
| Evaporation residue | 2-6% | ± 1% |
- Ripeness at harvest (week of picking) is the main natural driver of spread — earlier green fruit gives more gamma-terpinene and a sharper green note
- For perfumery buyers, we can hold a "single-harvest window" batch aside if your formula was built around one period's character
- GC-MS comparison reports between your reference lot and any new batch are available on request
- If your product needs a fixed allergen declaration (EU 2023/1545), the batch-to-batch variation in limonene/linalool is documented on every CoA so your label stays compliant
