EC number: 939-235-7 | CAS number: -
Solubility in organic solvents / fat solubility
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- solubility in organic solvents / fat solubility
- Type of information:
- other: Existing production technologies uses the good solubility of fatty acids in hexane (e.g. oil mill processes): The triglycerides und free fatty acids, contained in seeds are extracted by means of hexane
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Basic knowledge of chemists
Data source
Materials and methods

- EC Number:
- 939-235-7
- Molecular formula:
- Please refer to 'remarks'
- IUPAC Name:
- Fatty acids, C16-C18 (even numbered) and C18 (unsaturated) and Fatty acids, C16-C18 (even numbered) and C18 (unsaturated) methyl esters

Constituent 1
Results and discussion
Solubility in organic solvents / fat solubility
- Medium:
- other: Hexane
- Test substance stable:
- yes
- Details on results:
- All constituents are very good soluble in hexane. Hexane is the technical extraction solvent in oil mill processes and extracts triglycerides and free fatty acids as well.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
