Packaging: Pumpkin seed oil is packaged in 190 kg net HDPE drums and purged with nitrogen. Custom packaging is available

Storage: The oil should be stored in a cool and dry place, protected form light. Cloudiness or sedimentation is normal and may be resolved by rotating the unopened drum at 30-40°C

Shelf life: the shelf life is two years if unopened in the original standard 190 kg package. Once opened the shelf life of the oil is limited by temperature and light and oxygen exposure. Any remaining oil should be blanketed with nitrogen and used as soon as possible

Conclusion: Comply with in-house specification
