Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Not bioaccumalative
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- BCF (aquatic species):
- 0.893 L/kg ww
Additional information
Low discharge and lack of aqueous solubility suggest that direct and indirect exposure of the aquatic environment to High oleic sunflower oil, maleated is unlikely. Moreover, the very low water solubility will prevent exposure of aquatic organisms to a large extent.
In case of uptake, it is expected that the trialylglyceride will be enzymatically split into glycerol and mono-or diglycerids and fatty acids. As seen in the QSARs there is no expectation of bioaccumulation of any of these compounds. The QSAR calculations of the BCF values for Triolein, di-maleated and glycerol, which were 0.893 L/kg wet-weight in fish, which is used for risk assessment.
It is worth to mention, that Mono-, Di and Triglycerides are generally known to be contained in very large levels in marine animals. Therefore, the digestion, absorption and transport of triglyceride are highly adapted in fish to metabolize the triglycerides completely (Tocher, D.R., 2003: Metabolism and Function of Lipids and Fatty Acids in Teleost Fish, Rev. Fisheries Science 11(2):107-184).
Thus, of High oleic sunflower oil, maleated is not considered bioaccumulative and testing is therefore scientifically not justified.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
