FTP - Modification in SION

THE DGFT has modified SION A-1730, in respect of the export product, Ambrettolide. SION A-1730 has been revised to reduce the quantities of inputs against items at Serial Number 1, 2 & 3 and to replace input at Serial number 4, i.e., "caustic soda"by "seedlac".

The SION A-1730 earlier read-

A1730

Ambrettolide

1 Kg

1

Trimethyl Orthoformate

3 Kgs

2

Britol (Paraffinic Mineral Oil)

1.02 Kgs

3

Glycerine

16 kgs

4

Caustic Soda

8 kgs

And would now read-

A1730

Ambrettolide

1 Kg

1

Trimethyl Orthoformate

0.1.724 Kg

2

Britol (Paraffinic Mineral Oil)

1.020 Kg

3

Glycerine

3.053 kg

4

Seedlac

12.757kgs

See the difference.

Perhaps, there is some error in the quantity of "Trimethyl Orthoformate" shown in the revised SION value and we may expect a correction soon.

Notable is the fact that the input "Caustic Soda" has been substituted with "Seedlac", a resinous pigment.

So, would that mean that manufacturers of Ambrettolide should shift to using "Seedlac"and not "Caustic soda"?

This would also mean a bonanza for "Seedlac manufacturers".

And the losers may be the "Caustic soda"and "Glycerine"manufacturers.

It is understood that the latest technologies of Heat Transfer, Vacuum and Cooling systems reduces cost and human errors in production of Ambrettolide and ensures safety and traceability of ingredients and a quality end product.

Ambrettolide is a class of synthetic aroma chemicals to emulate the scent of deer musk or other natural musk.
