About this composition

This `-s` record is anchored to a South African marketed oil and its public 2022 GC/FID lot report. It represents a supplier-specific cineole-rich eucalyptus radiata profile rather than a broader species average.

What we're still learning · 3 data gaps

Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

The public Praan summary groups alpha-terpineol with terpinyl acetate and alpha-pinene with alpha-thujene, so this record cross-checks those grouped figures against the linked GC/FID lot report instead of guessing separate supplier values.
Odor intensity 76 is an archive normalization of Eden's Garden's aromatic description rather than a directly published 0-100 measurement.
No directly measured public volatility-rate or tenacity-hour data were verified in this pass.
