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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 232-435-9 | CAS number: 8028-89-5 The substance obtained by controlled heat treatment of food-grade carbohydrates. Food-grade acids, alkalies, and salts may be used to assist carmelization. Food-grade antifoaming agents may be used in an amount not greater than that required to produce the intended effect. Consists essentially of colloidal aggregates that are dispersible in water but only partly dispersible in alcohol-water solutions. Depending upon the particular carmelizing agent used, may have a positive or negative colloidal charge in solution.

Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Key result
- Parameter:
- thermal sensitivity - Koenen test: diameter of the orifice plate
- Remarks on result:
- not thermal sensitive if heated under defined confinement
- Key result
- Parameter:
- sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)
- Remarks on result:
- not sensitive to impact using an impact energy of 40 J
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- No signs of an explosive reaction could be observed in any of the tests.
Therefore, the test item Caramel Colour (E150c) is considered as “not explosive under the conditions of guideline EU A.14”. As the test item is a liquid the test for mechanical sensi-tivity (friction) was not applicable in accordance with the guideline EU A.14.
The guideline does not cover the explosive properties of dust consisting of test item (resp. mixtures of dust and air). Therefore, the result is stated as “under the conditions of guide-line EU A.14”
