Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): no bioaccumulation potential based on study results
The test substance is metabolised in the liver via ß-oxidation. There was no accumulation in tissues.
Executive summary:

Nonanoic acid is metabolized in the liver via beta-oxidation, producing ketone bodies. No chain elongation or tissue storage of the acid was observed in rats. Metabolism of the terminal propionic acid residue resulted in increased glucose and glycogen synthesis (Cragg, 2001).
