How do you ensure batch-to-batch consistency of this sweet orange oil?
Batch consistency is managed through blending to spec, standardized harvest sourcing and release testing — so successive shipments match your approved sample within defined quality tolerances.
Consistency Management
| Measure | Detail |
|---|---|
| Spec blending | New production is blended against the reference spec (limonene, aldehydes, physical constants) |
| GC-MS fingerprint | Every batch's volatile profile compared with reference standard |
| Physical checks | Density, refractive index, optical rotation on every lot |
| Sensory panel | Organoleptic check by trained evaluators before release |
| Origin discipline | Sourcing from the same regions/varieties for each program |
| Retained samples | Kept for each batch for post-shipment comparison |
- Citrus oils vary naturally with season and orchard; our blending step irons out natural variation to hold the agreed spec
- Tolerances follow the standard ranges in ISO 3140:2019 / GB/T 11424-2008 — batch-to-batch differences are kept well inside these limits
- A retained sample of every batch is kept for at least 24 months for reference
- If your process needs tighter tolerances, we agree a custom spec with you and blend to it
- For annual programs, we can hold one 'anchor batch' profile and match all subsequent lots to it
