(E)-methyl non-2-enoate
EC Number:
811-711-8
Cas Number:
14952-06-8
Molecular formula:
C10H18O2
IUPAC Name:
(E)-methyl non-2-enoate
Test material form:
liquid
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Beauversate (alternative trade name for Neofolione): Quest Code 556712, Test Substance Code R647

Study design

Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge (adaptation not specified)
Details on inoculum:
The inoculum used was 10% by volume of activated sludge plant secondary effluent, filtered through a Whatman filter paper (541) to remove coarse particulate matter.
Duration of test (contact time):
28 d
Details on study design:
The test used was the sealed vessel test which is suitable for determining the ready and ultimate biodegradability of organic substances. The test is conducted in 160ml vessels containing 100ml mineral salts medium inoculated with secondary effluent and the respective test or reference substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Executive summary:

Neofolione undergoes 85.7% biodegradation after 28 days in the test conditions.

Therefore, Neofolione should be regarded as readily biodegradable according to this test.
