| 2 | In this (third) revision, the gas chromatographic method has been upgraded from Packed Column GC to Capillary Column GC for more accurate results, which are being progressively used in the country. Besides, the values for Optical Rotation, Refractive Index and Relative Density have been reported at 20°C in addition to 27°C in order to facilitate international trade, since the fragrance and flavor ingredients are traded at international level quoting the Optical Rotation, Relative Density and Refractive Index at 20ºC rather than at 27ºC as prescribed in the Indian standards. The requirement for Flash Point has also been incorporated in this revision. | |
