What defines the composition of green-plum-concrete?
It is an organic-acid-rich fruit extract (citric / malic acids dominate, with fruity esters and benzaldehyde-type notes), not a volatile-oil class whose identity markers are organic acids (citric, malic), with fruity esters and benzaldehyde-type volatiles. Top fingerprints HPLC for organic acids (citric/malic) and GC for the fruity volatile fingerprint as authenticity/quality markers.
Top fingerprints the acid/volatile profile and screens for added acid or synthetic flavour adulteration. Each COA reports total acidity (as citric), moisture, heavy metals and micro; the identity is the natural Prunus mume Siebold & Zucc. (green plum / Chinese plum) profile, not a single volatile oil.
