4- العبوة والتخزين

Isovaleric acid is packaged in 25kg HDPE plastic drums or aluminum drums. For food-grade products, nitrogen must be filled for protection. It should be stored in a cool, dark place (< 25℃), kept tightly sealed to prevent oxidation, and kept away from strong alkalis and oxidants. Protective equipment (with strong irritating smell) must be worn during operation. The shelf life is 24 months.
