What are the physicochemical properties of this green mandarin oil?
TPS-RO-012 is released against the ISO 3528:2012 "Green" mandarin grade and FCC 12, with the full physical constant set below. These numbers are the fastest authenticity check — a single out-of-range density or RI reveals adulteration or dilution immediately.
Physicochemical Properties
| Property | Value | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Relative density (20°C) | 0.845-0.860 | ISO 3528:2012 Green 0.847-0.855; FCC 12 0.845-0.860 |
| Refractive index (20°C) | 1.473-1.479 | FCC 12 |
| Optical rotation (20°C) | +60° to +105° | ISO 3528 (Green); Xinhui type typically +70° to +95° |
| Peroxide value | ≤ 2.0 meq O2/kg | FCC 12 |
| Acid value | ≤ 2.0 mg KOH/g | FCC 12 |
| Evaporation residue | 2-6% | ISO 3528 (furocoumarin-related non-volatiles) |
| Flash point | ≈ 45°C (closed cup) | UN 1993, Class 3 flammable liquid |
| Boiling range | 174-180°C | Mainly D-limonene |
| CAS number | 8014-17-3 | Green mandarin / mandarin peel oil |
| INCI name | Citrus Reticulata (Tangerine) Peel Oil | Standard INCI |
- Density and RI are the gatekeepers: any carrier-oil dilution moves density immediately out of this window
- The evaporation residue (2-6%) reflects natural non-volatile matter (wax traces, furocoumarins) and is the basis of the 2% perfumery-restriction rule under IFRA
- Peroxide value is the freshness indicator: fresh batches stay below 1.0; a rising value signals oxidation
- Every batch CoA reports all constants against the ISO 3528 Green and FCC 12 lines
