- 1F-Fructofuranosylnystose (GF4:) 13.6% FOS
- Glucose +Fructose + Saccharose : 4.6% expressed as dry matter - Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Samples for possible analysis (2.0 mL) were taken from the limit concentration and the control at t=0 and t=96 hours.

- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: The batch of Fructo-oligosaccharides tested was a white powder with a purity of 95.4% and was visually completely soluble in test medium at the concentration tested. No correction was made for the purity/composition of the test material. Preparation of test solution started with the limit concentration of 100 mg/L.

- Health during acclimation: In the batch of fish used for the test, mortality during the seven days prior to the start of the test was less than 5%.
FEEDING DURING TEST
- No feeding from 24 hours prior to the test and during the total exposure period.

- Test vessel: 6.5 liters, all-glass, containing 5.0 liters of test solution
- Aeration: no aeration during the test
- No. of organisms per vessel: 7
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): 1
- No. of vessels per control (replicates): 1
- Biomass loading rate: 0.21 g fish/liter, i.e. 7 fish per 5.0 liters of test medium
TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: tap water purified by reverse osmosis, with added salts
- Culture medium different from test medium: no, same
- Intervals of water quality measurement: dissolved oxygen content, pH and temperature were measured daily in all vessels, beginning at day 0. Temperature was additionally continuously measured in a temperature control vessel, beginning at the start of the test.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: no
- Photoperiod and light intensity: 16 hours photoperiod daily with a light intensity ranging between 171 - 201 lux.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED
- Mortality and other effects were measured at 3, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours following the start of exposure. In addition, every afternoon from day 0 to observe for any dead or severely distressed fish. Dead fish were removed when observed.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS

- no
- Key result
- Duration:
- 96 h
- Dose descriptor:
- LC50
- Effect conc.:
- > 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mortality (fish)
- Details on results:
- Analytical results:
See Table 1 for details. The measured concentration at the start of the test was 104 mg/L in the limit concentration. During the exposure period, the concentration remained stable, i.e. was at 103% relative to initial at the end of the test (107 mg/L). No test material was detected in the samples taken from the control. Based on these results, effect parameters were expressed as analytically confirmed nominal concentrations.
Biological results:
See Table 2 for details. All test conditions remained within the ranges prescribed by the study plan. No mortality or sublethal effects were observed in the control and at the limit concentration throughout the exposure period. The responses recorded in this test allowed for the conclusion that the LC50 lies beyond the limit concentration tested, i.e. exceeded a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- No LC50 could be determined because observed effects were below 50% as the test material proved to be non-toxic to carp (Cyprinus carpio) (LC50 > maximum concentration tested).

- Conclusions:
- The 96h-LC50 for carp (Cyprinus carpio) exposed to Fructo-oligosaccharides was beyond the limit concentration tested, i.e. exceeded an analytically confirmed nominal concentration of 100 mg/L
- Executive summary:
The toxicity of the ScFOS to the carp (Cyprinus carpio) was investigated in a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 203.
A limit test was performed. In this limit test, 7 fish (1 replicate) were exposed to the nominal concentrations of 100 mg/L under static conditions during 96 hours. A control of 7 fish was also performed. An analytical monitoring was carried out at t=0 and t= 96 hours.
As a results, the concentration of the limit test concertation remained stable, i.e. was at 103% relative to initial at the end of the test. Based on these results, effect parameters were expressed as analytically confirmed nominal concentrations.
No mortality or sublethal effects were observed in the control and at the limit concentration throughout the exposure period.
In conclusion, the 96h-LC50 for carp (Cyprinus carpio) exposed to ScFOS was beyond the limit concentration tested, i.e. exceeded an analytically confirmed nominal concentration of 100 mg/L.
