Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Oral, dermal and inhalation absorption of decanoic acid, mixed esters with heptanoic acid, octanoic acid and pentaerythritol appears to be low. This is based on the lack of significant toxicological relevance effects noted in the acute/repeated dose oral and dermal studies with the substance and the respective read across substances.
Following ingestion, it is likely that these substances undergo lipase-catalysed hydrolysis in the gastrointestinal tract, releasing fatty acids and pentaerythritol. Following absorption, the fatty acids are transported to the tissues of the body including the liver where they undergo oxidation in the cells.
Pentaerythritol is metabolised in the liver and plasma then excreted in the urine unchanged or in conjugated form.
Consequently, the substance is considered to have low bioaccumulation potential.
