- T/CAFFCI 70-2023 sensory spec: light yellow or yellow-green color, transparent to semi-transparent liquid
- The olive-green tint deepens with the source region and harvest year; older lots may darken slightly — within spec unless turning cloudy
- The oil is heavier than water (relative density 0.910–0.995 in our spec; 0.845–1.033 per standard), so it sinks in aqueous distillate
- Color and clarity are verified on every batch against the approved master sample
- If the oil appears turbid or has sediment, warm gently to 30–40°C and re-check clarity — cold storage may cause trace wax separation
