yes
Decomp. temp.:
> 175 °C
Remarks on result:
other: differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) reaction and/or decomposition of the test item was observed starting at 175°C
Conclusions:
The melting and boiling temperature of Truvia ® Stevia RA95 were tested by DSC.

Reaction and/or decomposition of the test item was observed during DSC experiments starting at 175°C. Melting and/or boiling of the test item was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on these observations, no melting and/or boiling temperature could be attributed to the test item.

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

According to the experimental study for actual test item, reaction and/or decomposition of the test item was observed during DSC experiments starting at 175°C. Melting and/or boiling of the test item was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on these observations, no melting and/or boiling temperature could be attributed to the test item.


According to the publication from PubChem (HMDB), melting point = 242-244°C.
