Principles of method if other than guideline:
The purpose of the in silico study was to determine the log KOW of the consituents of the test item Essential oil of Schinus Terebinthifolius (Anacardiaceae) obtained from red berries by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. The determination was performed using a fragment based approach in which the molecule is divided into large and small fragments and each fragment is related to a specific log KOW contribution which may be positive or negative. The final log KOW is determined by simple addition of the fragments. The predicted log KOW values have been validated against high quality experimental studies generally using the shake-flask method but slow-stir values have been used when available. The results are considered to be as accurate as those from a good quality OECD 107 or 123 study. Some log KOW values are coming from literature.

Conclusions:
Individual log Kow of major constituents > 4 (at 25°C).
The substance has potential for bioaccumulation, according to CLP classification criteria for aquatic chronic toxicity.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test item was derived from the range of the individual log Kow values of 13 constituents, representing 93% of a typical composition.

Some data was found in literature sources and considered as reliable.

When not available, a Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) model was used. The determination was performed using a fragment-based approach. All of the constituents fall within the applicability domain of the model and were therefore reliably predicted for their log Kow.

The partition coefficient of the constituents were found in the range 3.68 to 6.4, only one minor was <4.

Calibration

Linear Regression:

slope = 0.297

y-axis intercept = -0.762

coefficient of regression (r) = 0.992

Results

For the test item, two series of peaks were observed.

For the 1st series, a log Kow range was determined from the 1st and last peak. For the 2nd series, 2 major peaks were identified, and their log Kow was extrapolated from the regression.

Conclusions:
Some constituents of the test substance have potential to bioaccumulate in the environment, according to CLP classification criteria for aquatic chronic toxicity (log Kow >4).
Executive summary:

A preliminary estimation from ratio of individual solubility in octanol and water gave a logKow > 5.6.

Then, the partition coefficient of the test substance was determined according to OECD 117 guideline, HPLC method, under GLP.

The system was calibrated with 6 reference substances, with logKow ranging between 1.0 and 6.5, giving good linear regression.

Then the test substance was injected in triplicate, and the partition coefficient was derived from the calibration curve.

Two series of peaks were observed, corresponding to log Kow in the ranges 2.63 - 6.13 and 7.52 - 7.64, at 25°C and pH=5.0.

Description of key information

Individual log Kow of major constituents > 4 (at 25°C).

The substance has potential for bioaccumulation, according to CLP classification criteria for aquatic chronic toxicity.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The individual values of 13 major constituents, representing 93% of a typical composition, were gathered from reliable literature sources, or estimated by QSAR when not publicly available. The result is expressed as a range, no key value was determined.

A supporting HPLC study confirms constituents with logKow ranging between ca 2.6 and 7.6, therefore potentially >4 too.
