Dusting Analysis
Because Delta-Damascone is restricted by the EU to extremely low concentrations (0.02%) for safety reasons, any amount used is inherently low. It is not an active ingredient, so 'dusting' is not applicable in a performance context, but exceeding 0.02% is a regulatory compliance violation.
