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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Not readily biodegradable: 19 -28% in 28days, 52 -59% in 60 days (OECD 301B)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One study investigating the biodegradability of Reaction products resulting from esterification of sucrose with saturated C16-18 (even numbered) fatty acids is available. The study was conducted according to GLP and OECD guideline 301B under enhanced test conditions using non-acclimatized activated sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant as inocculum (BASF 2017). Based on CO2 consumption a degradation of 19 -28% was observed after 28 days and a biodegradation of 52 -59% after 60 days. Hence, the test substance is determined to be not readily biodegradable. However, the constantly increasing degradation curve indicate that the substance is inherently biodegradable and thus not persistent in the environment.
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.
