Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Estimates of the per capita intake:

Compound	Estimated in take (µg/person/day)		Intake Threshold (µg/person/day)
	USA	EuropeC
3,5,5-trimethylhexan-1-ol	0.76	13	1800
3,5,5-trimethylhexanal	150	0.29	180

The estimated intake is far below the intake threshold, and it was concluded that there is no safety concern (Semino, 1998)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The use of isononanol, and also of isononanal, as flavoring substances results in a daily intake in the USA and in Europe which is far below the threshold. Therefore there were no safety concerns seen (WHO, 1998).

Executive summary:

The estimated intake of isononanol, and also of isononanal, resulting from the use as flavoring substances, is far below the intake threshold, and it was therefore concluded that there is no safety concern (Semino, 1998).
