E-mail:Product Overview & Core Technical Identity
SUNWAY supplies high-purity Beta Ionone (beta-ionone, 4-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-1-en-1-yl)but-3-en-2-one), a widely used cyclic unsaturated ketone flavor and fragrance raw material compliant with FEMA GRAS No. 2595, JECFA No. 389, FDA 21 CFR 172.515, EU Regulation 1334/2008 and China GB 2760 food flavoring substance regulations. This pale yellow oily liquid carries a characteristic violet, woody and dry-fruity aroma; it serves both as a floral-woody note in fine fragrances and as a berry-flavor modifier in food compounds, while remaining a recognized chemical precursor in the industrial synthesis of beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamin A and other carotenoids. Controlled distillation and isomer purification guarantee stable GC assay and consistent odor profile batch to batch. Every batch completes full GC purity, density, refractive-index and safety-indicator testing, with 12-month sealed sample retention for full quality traceability. Mixed consolidated shipment with other SUNWAY flavor and fragrance ingredients is supported to lower overall procurement and logistics costs.

Physiological Functions & Industry Application Logic
1.Violet Floral Note Builder Beta Ionone reproduces the characteristic violet, orris-like floral heart note of fine perfumery; it lifts violet, lavender, rose and fougere accords and supplies the soft powdery-floral body expected in feminine and floral bouquets.
2.Woody & Dry-Fruity Modulator Its woody, dry and slightly fruity character harmonizes berry, raspberry, plum and dried-fruit food flavor compounds, reducing harsh top notes and giving a mature, rounded sensory base to fruity and nutty aroma systems.
3.Fragrance Accord Foundation in Perfume As a stable cyclic ketone it forms the middle-note foundation of woody, floral and oriental perfumes, soap essences and body-care fragrances, and blends readily with musks, hedione, oakmoss and citrus top notes.
4.Food Flavor & Berry Compound It contributes a natural berry and violet-floral dimension to fruit drinks, candy, chewing gum, ice cream and nutty flavors, matching the round, sweet fruity profile required by finished food and beverage formulas within permitted FEMA and JECFA use levels.
5.Carotenoid & Vitamin A Synthesis Intermediate In industrial chemistry, beta-ionone is a recognized C15 building block used in the synthesis of beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamin A alcohol and vitamin A esters; a separate technical-grade specification is available for this industrial application.
Key Property Reminder: Beta Ionone is an easily oxidized, light-sensitive oily liquid. Long exposure to air, light and heat causes color darkening, odor deterioration and peroxide formation; it must be stored under nitrogen protection, sealed, dark and away from oxidizing substances.
Sunway Packaging, Supply & Delivery Capacity
Standard Packaging Specifications
Trial Small Batch: 5kg sealed light-blocking aluminum bottle with nitrogen headspace, leak-proof and oxidation-resistant for laboratory flavor formulation R&D and small-batch trial compounding.
Industrial Bulk Shipment: 25kg food-grade sealed plastic drum with inner liner, stable for long-term warehouse storage and ocean transit; larger technical-grade drums for intermediate-industrial supply are negotiable.
Custom Service: Custom filling weight, nitrogen-flushed sealing and private-label printing available for long-term cooperative flavor houses and fragrance manufacturers.
Stable Spot Inventory & Supply Capacity
SUNWAY maintains year-round sealed spot stock of Beta Ionone without seasonal out-of-stock risks. Long-term strategic cooperation with certified distillation and purification manufacturers, together with independent dark dry storage zones, ensures stable batch-to-batch GC assay and odor profile for mass procurement demand of flavor houses, cosmetic factories and food manufacturers.
Mixed Consolidated Shipment Support
Beta Ionone can be consolidated with other SUNWAY flavor and fragrance ingredients into one container on separated pallets to prevent cross-odor contamination, eliminating separate delivery fees and cutting overall procurement and warehouse management costs.

Authorized Industrial Application Scenarios
4.1 Food & Beverage Flavor Compounding
Applicable Finished Goods: Berry flavored drinks, fruit candy, chewing gum, ice cream, nutty and violet-style food flavors Core Matching Advantages: Adds a violet-floral and dry-woody dimension to berry and stone-fruit compounds; a small dosage rounds and matures the fruity aroma. Typical finished-product dosage: 0.5-15 ppm, compliant with GB 2760, FEMA GRAS 2595 and JECFA No. 389 flavoring limits.
4.2 Fine Fragrance & Cosmetic Formulation
Applicable Finished Goods: Floral, woody and oriental perfume, body lotion, shower gel, shampoo, facial essence, scented candle Core Value: Builds the violet heart note and woody body of fragrance accords, balances base-material odor in personal-care products, and delivers long-lasting floral-woody persistence.
4.3 Household & Daily-Use Essence
Applicable Finished Goods: Laundry detergent, toilet soap, air freshener, scented cleaning essence Core Value: Stabilizes household floral-woody fragrance, masks unpleasant base-material odor and imparts a soft violet-woody scent that survives washing and drying.
4.4 Pharmaceutical & Carotenoid Synthesis Intermediate
Applicable Finished Goods: Industrial synthesis of beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamin A alcohol and vitamin A esters Core Value: Serves as the characteristic C15 ring precursor in carotenoid and retinoid synthesis; technical-grade purity, documentation and larger packaging are supplied separately from food and fragrance grades.
Full-Cycle QC & Compliance Credentials
SUNWAY Four-Stage Full-Cycle Quality Control System

Storage, Handling & Shelf Life Guidance
Standard Storage Environment
Store unopened original packaging in a tightly closed, cool and dark warehouse at 10-25 C, under nitrogen protection, with relative humidity Max 60%. Keep strictly away from direct sunlight, heat sources, air exposure and strong oxidizing chemicals. Prevent oxidation that causes darkening and odor deterioration.
Post-Opening Handling Tips
Reseal the bottle or drum tightly immediately after each sampling, top up with nitrogen when feasible, and finish consumption within 30 days to prevent oxidation, color darkening and odor weakening. Transfer residual liquid into small-volume sealed light-blocking containers for long-term preservation.
Special Operation Reminder
All sampling and batching operations shall be carried out in a dry, ventilated area away from open flame; avoid prolonged contact with air. Do not co-store with strong oxidizers, and avoid repeated drastic temperature fluctuations that promote condensation inside the package.
Valid Shelf Life
24 months under intact sealed nitrogen-protected dark storage; GC assay, physical indicators and odor are fully guaranteed within the expiry date.
