Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Henry's Law constant of citral was calculated using EPIWIN v3.12, HENRYWIN v3.10. The calculation yielded values of 3.76 x 10E-4 atm x m³/mole (38.1 Pa x m³/mole) and 4.35 x 10E-5 atm x m³/mole (4.41 Pa x m³/mole; at 25°C each) using the bond and group method, respectively. The calculation of Henry's Law constant according to the equation H=vp/ws and using EPIWIN estimates for water solubility and vapour pressure resulted in a Henry's Law constant of 2.16 x 10E-4 atm x m³/mole (21.9 Pa x m³/mole; at 25°C). The results point on a moderate to high volatility of citral from aqueous solution.
