TEST CONDITIONS
- pH, sterility, temperature, and other experimental conditions maintained throughout the study: Yes

Conclusions:
The test item is hydrolysed at pH4, 7 and 9 for all the temperature tested (20, 40 and 50°C).
Executive summary:

The behavior of the test item regarding hydrolysis was determined according to recognised guideline and under GLP.

No deviation from the guideline was observed during the study.

The disappearance time 50 (DT50) were calculated according to the Nth-Order Rate or Intermediate Order Rate Equation (IORE) model using Computer Aided Kinetic Evaluation (CAKE) Version 3.3.

The DT50 are detailed in the table below:

 pH  Temperature (°C)  DT50 (Hours)
 4 20  21.1
 4 40 1.62
 4 50  0.576
