2. General Maximum Usage Limits: 10 mg/kg for baked goods; 10 mg/kg for meat, meat sauces, and meat broths. It is safe and non-toxic when used within these compliance limits.

3. It can also serve as an organic synthesis intermediate for the preparation of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals, as well as a research reagent for studies related to flavor chemistry.

Safety and Storage Guidelines

1. For routine storage, keep the product sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment. Keep containers tightly closed and away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames. All equipment must be grounded to prevent static electricity, and exposure to air should be avoided to prevent oxidation and deterioration.

2. In case of fire, use water mist, dry powder, foam, or carbon dioxide extinguishing agents; do not use a direct water jet to prevent the splashing and spread of flammable liquids. For small spills, absorb with inert materials such as sand or activated carbon; for large spills, construct a containment berm to prevent entry into sewers and surface water. Do not pour residues directly into drains.
