Remarks on result:
other: ready biodegradable
Remarks:
Read-across from analogue substance (naringin).
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Based on the read-across approach, the target substance is expected to be readily biodegradable.
Executive summary:

A 28-day ready aerobic biodegradability test in an aerobic aqueous medium with manometric respirometry method was performed on the analogue substance naringin, according to OECD 301F / EC C.4 – D manometric respirometry methods (GLP study). 100 mg/l of test item was inoculated with activated sludge (30 mg/L SS) and incubated under aerobic conditions in a closed respirometer flask at constant temperature (22 ± 2ºC) for 28 days. A blank test, a procedure test with reference substance (sodium acetate) and a toxicity test were run in parallel. In a toxicity test, containing both the test item and a reference item, on the 14th test day the biodegradation (based on ThOD) attained 54.1%. Thus, the analogue substance is not inhibitory.At the 28th day of the test the measured aerobic biodegradation of the test item attained 74.8%. Thus, the analogue substance is readily biodegradable. Based on the read-across approach, the target substance is expected to be readily biodegradable.

Executive summary:

A 28-day ready aerobic biodegradability test in an aerobic aqueous medium with manometric respirometry method was performed on the analogue substance neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, according to OECD 301F / EC C.4 – D manometric respirometry methods (GLP study). 100 mg/l of test item was inoculated with activated sludge (30 mg/L SS) and incubated under aerobic conditions in a closed respirometer flask at constant temperature (22 ± 2ºC) for 28 days. A blank test, a procedure test with reference substance (sodium acetate) and a toxicity test were run in parallel. In a toxicity test, containing both the test item and a reference item, on the 14th test day the biodegradation (based on ThOD) attained 42.7%. Thus, the analogue substance is not inhibitory.At the 28th day of the test the measured aerobic biodegradation of the test item attained 71%. Thus, the analogue substance is readily biodegradable. Based on the read-across approach, the target substance is expected to be readily biodegradable.

Description of key information

Weight of evidence: Based on the read-across approach from two analogue substances, the target substance is readily biodegradable.

- Read-across from analogue substance. Source: Method according to OECD 301F / EU C.4 (Manometric respirometry), GLP study. At the 28th day of the test the measured aerobic biodegradation of the test item attained 74.8%. Thus, the test item is readily biodegradable. Based on the read-across approach, the target substance is expected to be readily biodegradable.

- Read-across from analogue substance. Source: Method according to OECD 301F / EU C.4 (Manometric respirometry), GLP study. At the 28th day of the test the measured aerobic biodegradation of the test item attained 71%. Thus, the test item is readily biodegradable. Based on the read-across approach, the target substance is expected to be readily biodegradable.
