How is batch-to-batch consistency maintained for the wild rose absolute?
Consistency is managed by harvesting at the same blossom stage, standardizing the solvent-extraction protocol, and matching every batch to a retained reference by GC-MS fingerprint before release.
Consistency Controls
| Control | Practice |
|---|---|
| Raw material | Same wild harvest window and collecting area each season |
| Process | Fixed extraction time, solvent ratio and dewaxing conditions |
| Analytical | GC-MS fingerprint matched to the retained reference standard |
| Physical | Density / refractive index / acid / ester within specification |
| Sensory | Organoleptic sign-off against the reference by the panel |
- Natural absolutes vary within biological limits; our windows are tight but realistic for a wild botanical
- Blending multiple harvest runs equalizes minor seasonal differences for contract supply
- Any out-of-spec batch is rejected or reprocessed rather than blended down
Reference samples are retained for comparison for at least 24 months.
