Storage & Shelf Life
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Shelf life (our spec) | 36 months from production date |
| Industry standard | Up to 5 years sealed and unopened (QB/T 1801-2010) |
| Temperature | 15–25°C, cool and dry |
| Container | Original amber/aluminum, tightly closed |
| Light | Avoid direct sunlight |
| Oxidation control | Minimize headspace air; refill nitrogen for long storage |
- Oxidation is the main aging risk: terpenes degrade under light, heat and oxygen
- Do not store in plastic containers without compatibility testing; use HDPE/aluminum/glass
- Re-test acid value and organoleptic profile before using stock beyond 24 months
We recommend a first-in-first-out stock rotation and quarterly sensory checks.
