  • Exposure of ingredients to high and low temperature during transport

    Hello lovely people,

    I really need your help to make a decision, please:

    Someone is coming from the US, and I want to take advantage and order some things not available in my country: acetyl zyngerone, n-acetyl glucosamine, and hexylresorcinol. BUT these will be exposed (during transport to the US destination) to a temp of 50-55C or more, for about 24 hours (they checked with the company). The rest of the “trip” is by plane, therefore a drop in temperature of at least 40 degrees- just guessing here, never traveled in an airplane hold, nor I intend to.

    Should I order them or they’d be rendered unusable by the time they arrive?

    Thank you for your help.

    Temperature stress is typically heavily correlated to duration. Hence when we stability test…we do not incubate for 24 hours…or 48 hours, but much longer. Go for it…. or wait for the cooler months.
