Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of test substance Denatonium benzoate (Granules) CAS No. 3734-33-6 was determined as per the HPLC method (OECD Guideline-117). The Log Pow value was determined to be 2.205± 0.021 at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of Denatonium benzoate (Granules) CAS No.3734-33-6 was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for Testing of Chemicals. The reference substances were chosen according to structural similarity with the test substance. The reference substances were Acetanilide, Acetophenone, Toluene, Naphthalene, Biphenyl, N butyl benzene, Triphenylamine having Pow value ranging from 1 to 5.7.TheLog Powvalue of Denatonium benzoate (Granules) was determined to be 2.205± 0.021 at 25°C.

Additional information

Two experimental studies have been conducted for chemical Denatonium Benzoate (CAS no. 3734 -33 -6) for its different forms for partition coefficient Endpoint and their results are summarized below.

 

First study was the experimental study conducted for granular form of Denatonium Benzoate ( From UERL 2015) and the partition Coefficient n-octanol/water was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for Testing of Chemicals. The reference substances were chosen according to structural similarity with the test substance. The reference substances were Acetanilide, Acetophenone, Toluene, Naphthalene, Biphenyl, N butyl benzene, Triphenylamine having Pow value ranging from 1 to 5.7. TheLog Pow value of Denatonium benzoate (Granules) was determined to be 2.205± 0.021at 25°C

 

And in another study partition coefficient was determined for powder form of Denatonium benzoate from same source and using same procedure and the Log Pow value of Denatonium benzoate (Powder) was determined to be 2.062 ± 0.009at 25°C indicating that this test chemical is hydrophilic in nature.
