TGSC Descriptions

PerfumersWorld: Triethyl citrate (TEC) is a versatile solvent for oily products, crystals, powders and resins. it is almost odourless with slight hints of mild fruity wine and plum notes. a potential replacement for the highly toxic DEP (phthalates) for difficult to dissolve ingredients, TEC is also approved for use in flavours.
