Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Fatty acid methyl esters are efficiently metabolized in humans.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Bioaccumulation potential:
- no bioaccumulation potential
Additional information
Metabolism
9-dodecenoic acid, methyl ester is a fatty acid methyl ester. Metabolism of fatty acid methyl esters begins with hydrolysis of the ester, resulting in the carboxylic (e.g. fatty) acid and methanol. Methanol is oxidized to formaldehyde, which itself is oxidized to formic acid. Finally, formic acid is metabolized to CO2 and H2O. Fatty acids are an important source of energy and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for many cellular organisms. Fatty acids undergo β-oxidation, and the products enter physiological pathways like the citric acid cycle, sugar synthesis, and lipid synthesis.
Dermal Absorption
Using the US NIOSH Finite Dose Skin Permeation Calculator, systemic absorption of 9-dodecenoic acid, methyl ester across partially hydrated human skin is predicted to be very low.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
