Description of key information

Partition coefficient of known components of the substance ranging between 1.1 and 5.68.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No study was conducted on the substance itself.

The test item is a natural complex substance (NCS). It is a mixture of several constituents, but seven of them represent the identity of this substance and are used in the substance identity profile (SIP) and in the boundary composition (see point 1.2).

Therefore a Weight of Evidence approach was considered and the logP of these 7 known constituents of the substance was gathered (literature data or QSAR estimations).

Literature provided data and QSAR estimations for 7 known constituents of the substance:

- trans-cinnamic acid log Kow ca 2.13,

- benzoic acid log Kow ca 1.87,

- vanillin logKow ca 1.37.

- benzyl benzoate logKow ca 3.97,

- benzyl cinnamate logKow ca 4.06 (EPISuite- KOWWIN v1.68 ),

- benzyl alcohol logKow ca 1.1,

- nerolidol logKow ca 5.68 (EPISuite- KOWWIN v1.68),

As no CSA is required for the tonnage band of concern, no key value was retained.
