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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms is assumed to be low because the substance is readily biodegradable.
In addition, triglycerides are widely used as food ingredients and do not present a hazard to humans or animals; they are readily metabolised into the fatty acid part, glycerol and citric acid, which feed into physiological pathways.
Furthermore mono- and diglycerides have an amphiphilic character and can be part of biological membranes or act as emulsifier and thus, are naturally present in all living organism. Fatty Acid Glycerides are stored deliberately in the fatty tissue as energy source and will be metabolized if needed.
Hence, in case bioaccumulation occurs, bioaccumulation in animal tissue is nonhazardous due to the metabolic fate of the substance.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
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.
