Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Hop, Humulus lupulus, ext.
EC Number:
232-504-3
EC Name:
Hop, Humulus lupulus, ext.
Cas Number:
8060-28-4
Molecular formula:
No simple molecular formula for UVCB
IUPAC Name:
Hop, Humulus lupulus, ext.
Test material form:
liquid: viscous
Remarks:
Depending on the extraction conditions and on the hop variety, the colour of the extract can vary from yellow to dark green. It is a semi-fluid paste at room temperature. The product becomes more fluid when heated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The study performed on hop extract is relevant for beta acids, since hop extract may contain up to ca. 64% beta acids, and the extract tested here contained 38% beta acids. Hop extract (Oil rich) is classfied as irritant to human skin.
