Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Hesperidin decomposes before boiling as described in peer reviewed literature (see supporting study) and therefore a separate test to determine the boiling point is technically not feasible.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Hesperidin decomposes before boiling as described in peer reviewed literature (see supporting study) and therefore a separate test to determine the boiling point is technically not feasible. Considering the decomposition temperature of 251 °C, reported in a publication from 1940 and information in peer-reviewed handbooks such as The Merck Index and CRC handbook on the melting point to be in the same range it can be concluded that hesperidin can not be distilled under ambient pressure. Taking into account the fact that hesperidin is a glucoside decomposition at elevated temperature is expected.
