01
Define the application first
State whether the butter is for cosmetic formulation, a food-use assessment or another technical application. This determines the qualification questions that follow.
- End product and market
- Food or cosmetic qualification
- Processing preference
- Known restrictions on additives
02
Share measurable requirements
If your approval process uses limits, provide values, units and test methods rather than a general request for high quality.
- Appearance and odour
- Melting behaviour or range
- Acid and peroxide values
- Moisture and relevant testing
03
Plan evaluation and supply
Explain the sample evaluation and expected commercial requirement without assuming sample or bulk availability.
- Sample quantity and evaluation method
- Expected order quantity
- Pack size and material
- Destination and requested period
