Boiling point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- boiling point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
- Remarks:
- reliability 2 because of low accuracy using distillation method
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to same study
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling point/boiling range)
- Deviations:
- no
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- 200 ml (178.0 g) of sample were heated by means of a hemispherical heating mantle. Bottom and head temperatures and amount of distillate were read and correlated to the distillation time to develop a distillation curve diagram.
The boiling point of an essential oil is not a sharply defined characteristic because it is a mixture of substances in variable concentrations. Therefore the temperature at which the natural complex substance (NCS) begins to boil under normal atmospheric pressure shall be determined. The determined boiling point under these conditions for Cornmint Oil is 102 ± 10 °C. The low value for initial boiling point maybe due to a combination of minor componenets and dissolved water typically present in this material. The head temperature quickly rose to typical figures expected for main components. The determined temperature for the beginning of boiling is reasonable from the constituent view. - GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of method:
- distillation method
- Key result
- Boiling pt.:
- 102 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 Bar
- Remarks on result:
- other: First distillate was obtained at this temperature; standard deviation is 10 degrees Celsius
- Conclusions:
- The boiling point of cornmint oil is 102 degrees Celsius.
- Executive summary:
The boiling point of cornmint oil was determined according to methodology comparable to OECD guideline 103 using the distillation method. The boiling point was found to be 102 +/- 10 degrees Celsius.
