Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity of the constituent glycerides, C8 -18 and C18 -unsatd. (in the form of fully hydrogenated coconut oil) in guinea pigs.

The test substance was applied at a dose of 3,000 mg/kg to the skin of 12 guinea pigs. No mortality occurred during the 7 d observation period.

Under test conditions, the LD0 of the substance in guinea pigs was found to be 3,000 mg/kg (CIR, 1986).
