Essential oils laboratories are crucial in the industry for their ability to conduct detailed analyses, precise research, and provide crucial support in the development and commercialization of these natural products.
From initial research to final production, these spaces are essential to ensuring the quality, purity, and efficacy of essential oils.
Our laboratory is the core of our commitment to excellence. Here, every batch of essential oils undergoes rigorous analysis to ensure they meet the highest standards of purity, consistency, and quality.
Quality Control Area
Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, our specialists work meticulously to evaluate every aspect of the oils, from color and chemical composition to their stability and purity.
This meticulous approach ensures that each product not only complies with the strictest international regulations but also delivers an unparalleled olfactory experience.
Colorimeter
Essential oils must have specific coloration according to regulations and customer expectations. Any variation in color could indicate impurities or deviations in the production process. The colorimeter allows us to measure these colors of essential oils to ensure that each batch has the optimal appearance.
Gas Chromatograph (GC)
We analyze the chemical composition of essential oils to ensure their purity and verify that they meet product specifications. This allows us to identify any unwanted components and ensure consistency in the aromatic profile.
Using the gas chromatograph equipped with FID (Flame Ionization Detector) and MS (Mass Spectrometer), we can analyze this composition. The FID detector is ideal for quantifying hydrocarbons and organic components in essential oils. The Mass Spectrometer provides detailed information on the molecular structure of compounds.
Densimeter, Refractometer and Polarimeter
Three machines connected online and automated through a carousel for samples that evaluates the density, refractive index, and optical rotation of essential oils. These physical properties are crucial for the identification and quality control of essential oils. Each oil has a specific range of density and optical characteristics that must be maintained.
Karl Fischer
Essential oils must have very low water content to prevent degradation and loss of quality. The Karl Fischer method is highly accurate for detecting even traces of moisture. With Karl Fischer, we measure moisture in products to ensure their stability and quality.
Automatic Titration
With the automatic titration, we perform acidity analysis, peroxide index, and carbonyl index. In other words, it evaluates the amount of free acids in the oil, which can affect its stability and aroma. The Peroxide Index indicates the degree of oxidation and the presence of peroxides, which can deteriorate the oil. Meanwhile, the Carbonyl Index is related to the quality and purity of the oil.
These analyses are crucial for determining the quality and shelf life of essential oils, ensuring that there are no undesired degradation processes.
Cleaning Equipment
This equipment ensures that all laboratory materials are free from residues and contaminants, as keeping the equipment clean is essential to prevent cross-contamination between different batches of essential oils.
This equipment, unlike regular dishwashers, has a water recirculation system that, together with specific products, allows the material to be cleaned with a 50% reduction in water consumption.
Gas showcase
Allows working with essential oils that may have strong vapors or require specific handling conditions to avoid risks. It enables us to safely handle hazardous or intensely scented products.
Flammable Products Cabinet
Safety is a priority, and having a secure place to store these products is crucial to minimize risks. We store flammable, explosive and corrosive products safely in case of fire.
Sample Cabinet
With continuous extraction system we keep the samples under optimum conditions avoiding pollution, heat and cold extremes. The samples of each lot are stored for at least 3 years to allow traceability and solve any possible problems afterwards.
Research and Development (R&D) Area
At Arogreen, innovation and creation are at the heart of our philosophy. In our essential oils laboratory, we also have the Research and Development (R&D) Area dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible, exploring new frontiers in the characterization of essential oils. Our team of experts works tirelessly to develop products that not only meet our clients’ expectations but exceed them.
Product Innovation and Characterization
The first step in our R&D process is the comprehensive characterization of products. We use advanced tools to analyze and deeply understand the composition and properties of each essential oil. This detailed analysis allows us not only to improve existing oils but also to discover new combinations that can offer unique aromas and additional benefits.
Optimization of Production Methods
Developing methods for new products is an integral part of our mission to stay ahead of the industry. We constantly seek to improve our production and analysis techniques to increase efficiency and quality. The relentless pursuit of perfection allows us to offer exceptional products in aroma and functionality, produced sustainably and efficiently.
Essential Oil Sample Area
In our essential oils laboratory, we also focus on presenting our products impeccably to clients. The Sample Area is where our essential oils come to life for customers, allowing them to experience and select qualities that best suit their needs.
Personalized Proposal Shipping
The process begins with the creation and shipping of personalized proposals. We understand that each client has unique expectations and requirements. Therefore, we work closely with them to develop specific qualities that reflect their desires and needs. These proposals are meticulously prepared and sent for evaluation, allowing clients to explore a variety of options before making a final decision.
Hermetic and High-Quality Preservation
To ensure that each sample maintains its original quality and aroma, we ensure they are hermetically isolated. We use high-quality packaging that protects essential oils from exposure to external factors such as light, air, and humidity, which could compromise their integrity. This care in preservation ensures that each sample arrives in perfect condition, ready to be evaluated in its purest form.
Digitalized Inventory Management
Our advanced computerized management system is crucial for efficient inventory management and sample logistics. This system allows us to track each sample from arrival to delivery, ensuring that each client receives exactly what they need, when they need it.
Precision in inventory management allows detailed record-keeping of samples, facilitating their replenishment and ensuring that we always have a suitable variety on hand to meet market demands.
Focus on Quality and Aroma of Essential Oils
Our essential oils laboratory not only aims to produce high-quality oils; our true passion is to capture and perfect the aroma that defines each of our products. Quality and aroma are the pillars on which our reputation is built and the value we offer to our clients.
Millimetric Precision in Composition
Every batch of essential oil at Arogreen is chosen with millimetric precision. We use advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to measure lots accurately. This level of detail ensures that each essential oil maintains its distinctive aromatic profile and integrity, providing our clients with a consistent and high-quality experience with every use.
Strict Compliance with Regulations
Our commitment to quality extends beyond production; we also dedicate ourselves to complying with all applicable international and local regulations. We ensure that all our processes and products not only meet but exceed legal and industry standards. This approach not only protects the safety and health of our consumers but also ensures that our essential oils are globally recognized and respected for their excellence.
The Importance of Aroma in Our Essential Oils
