Additional data

  • Storage conditions: Store in cool and dry place, keep away from intense light and high heat.
  • Carrier: Fractionated coconut oil (caprylic/capric triglyceride, MCT).
  • Packaging: 10 mL amber glass bottle with food-grade fine-mist spray head; also supplied by the kilogram (1–5 kg/bottle, 10–25–50 kg/drum).
  • Shelf life: 24 months
  • Dosage and use: A food-grade lavender fragrance oil for confectionery, bakery, syrups, dairy desserts and beverage flavouring, and for candle, soap and household fragrance work. The profile is dominated by linalool and linalyl acetate, which together account for roughly two thirds of the oil, giving a rounded floral top with a soft herbaceous body. Dose to effect and evaluate in the finished matrix; lavender is potent and is easily overdosed in sweet applications. Compositional figures in the Extract Specification and the chromatographic profile refer to the essential-oil fraction of the product, determined by GC-FID area normalisation; the carrier is stated separately above.
