Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

Metabolic data demonstrate that the notifiable substance (identified under the brand name Lycasin® 80/55), as well as the read-across substances (maltose, maltitol, sorbitol, wheat glucose syrup (WGS), and dextrin) share a common metabolic pathway as they are converted to D-glucose and/or sorbitol via hydrolysis of their glycosidic linkages by the intestinal brush border carbohydrases. On the basis of their common mono- and disaccharide metabolites, the properties of the notifiable substance, Lycasin® 80/55 is expected to be similar to the read-across substances maltose, sorbitol, maltitol, WGS and dextrin. Considering this, it is anticipated that exposure to any of the aforementioned saccharides would ultimately result in the formation of D-glucose and/or sorbitol. As such, maltose, sorbitol, maltitol, WGS, and dextrin may be used as appropriate surrogates for Lycasin® 80/55, considering their common metabolic products.

 

An in vivo skin sensitization study on wheat glucose syrup was identified, which was performed according to OECD Guideline 429 (Skin Sensitisation: Local Lymph Node Assay) and in compliance with GLP. Under test conditions the substance has been found to be not a skin sensitizer.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
Results of an in vivo skin sensitization study on the read-across substance wheat glucose syrup performed according to test guidelines have demonstrated that the compound is not a skin sensitizer.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Additional information:
Migrated from Short description of key information:
There is no information available concerning respiratory or skin sensitisation; data is lacking

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin sensitization: According to the study run according to OECD Guideline 429 (Skin Sensitisation: Local Lymph Node Assay), the acceptable read-across compound is non-sensitizing.

There is no information available concerning respiratory or skin sensitisation; data is lacking.
