Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Hop, Humulus lupulus, ext.
EC Number:
232-504-3
EC Name:
Hop, Humulus lupulus, ext.
Cas Number:
8060-28-4
IUPAC Name:
Hop, Humulus lupulus, ext.
Test material form:
liquid: viscous
Remarks:
Depending on the extraction conditions and on the hop variety, the colour of the extract can vary from yellow to dark green. It is a semi-fluid paste at room temperature. The product becomes more fluid when heated.
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Oil-rich hop extract, batch no. BI/YYF/1701

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Together with endpoints 002 and 003, hop extract is classified as a sensitiser to human skin. The study performed on hop extract is relevant for tetrahydroisoalpha acids, since these are derived from hop extract.
