Details on sampling:

Analytical evaluation of various concentrations of the test item Naringin Dihydrochalcone (DHC), was carried out via HPLC-DAD.

- Sample storage conditions before analysis: All samples were stored at 6 +/- 2°C until start of analysis if necessary.

Test solutions

Vehicle:

no

Details on test solutions:

PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: The stock solution (100 mg/L test item was weighed out) was freshly prepared with dilution water. The stock solution was treated with ultrasound for 15 minutes and stirred with approximately 1100 rpm at room temperature.
- Controls: Dilution water without test item tested under the same conditions as the test group.

Details on test conditions:

TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel:
- Type (delete if not applicable): open
- Material, size, headspace, fill volume: glass beakers (4 cm ID x 7 cm H), 50 mL capacity; 20 mL volume per vessel
- No. of organisms per vessel: 20 animals, divided into 4 parallel samples, each with 5 animals per limit concentration and control.
- No. of vessels per concentration: duplicates
- No. of vessels per control: duplicates

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: Dilution water was prepared according to Directive 92/69/EEC Method C.2, Annex 1
- Intervals of water quality measurement: Prior to test start the water quality parameters of the dilution water were measured. At the beginning of the test the water quality parameters of the fresh media were measured and at test end after 48 hours, the water quality parameters of the old media were measured.

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod: 16/8 hours light/dark cycle
- Light intensity: max 20 µE x m-2 x s-1

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Justification for using less concentrations than requested by guideline: limit test, only one concentration is required
- Range finding study
- Test concentrations: 190 and 380 mg/L (calculated water solubility)
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: 0% immobilisation was observed under static test conditions after 24 or 48 hours with test concentrations of 190 and 380 mg/L.

No further details are given.

Results with reference substance (positive control):

- Results with reference substance valid? yes; The 24-hour EC50-value for potassium dichromate was found to be within the prescribed concentration range of 1.0 - 2.5 mg/L which is in line with the quality criteria stated in AQS P 9/2 (05/1996) for daphnids clone 5. The EC50-value of the reference item is also within the recommended range of 0.6 - 2.1 mg/L according to OECD-Guideline 202.
- EC50/LC50: 1.5 mg/L (CI 1.3 - 1.73 mg/L)

Reported statistics and error estimates:

The effects of the limit concentration of 100 mg/L were determined directly from the test results.
