Linear calibration

The data and results are summarized in Table 1.

They were used to perform a linear calibration used to quantify the test article in the aqueous test solutions coming from the sampling traps.

Vapour pressure

The vapour pressure tests were performed on the test article sample at 32°C (305 K) and at 40°C (313 K) with a 20 mL/min nitrogen flow rate.

Test at 305 K (32°C)

91.2 L of N2 at 20 mL/min

Volume of the trap solution: 28 mL

Abs 270 nm of the trap solution: 0.00851

Test article concentration of the trap solution calculated from linear calibration: 8.44mg/mL

                                                                10-6mg/g     62.41

P (mmHg) = 8.44mg/mL x 28 mL x ______________ x __________ x 305 K

                                                               400 g/mol           91.2 L

P (mPa) = P (mmHg) x 0.132 x 106 = 16.28 mPa            log P = 1.2115

Test at 313 K (40°C)

172.8 L of N2 at 20 mL/min

Volume of the trap solution: 23 mL

Abs 270 nm of the trap solution: 0.02383

Test article concentration of the trap solution calculated from linear calibration: 26.98mg/mL

                                                                    10-6mg/g                 62.41

P (mmHg) = 26.98mg/mL x 23 mL x ______________ x __________ x 313 K

                                                                  400 g/mol              172.8 L

P (mPa) = P (mmHg) x 0.132 x 106 = 23.15 mPa            log P = 1.3646

The vapour pressure value at lower temperatures can be calculated from the Clausius - Clapeyron equation:

                                             DHv

                      log P = _____________ + constant

                                             2.3 RT

where:

P        =           Pressure (Pa)

DHv    =           Heat of vaporization (J*mol-1)

T         =           Temperature (K)

R        =           Constant of gas (8.314 J*mol-1*K-1)

Reporting log P versus 1/T and extrapolating the values of the linear curve obtained, the vapour pressure values at 20 and 25°C are:

25°C (298 K)           1/T = 0.00336           Þ           log P = 1.0709           P = 11.8 mPa

20°C (293 K)           1/T = 0.00341           Þ           log P = 0.9663           P = 9.3 mPa

Since the results of the test carried out at 40°C show that the vapour pressure of the test article is below the recommended range defined in the quality criteria of the gas saturation method (10-4Pa to 1 Pa), additional tests were not performed at higher temperatures.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

From the experimental data obtained it can be concluded that the vapour pressure of the sample of Amorphophallus Campanulatus Dry Purified Extract is:

P = 11.8 mPa = 1.18 x 10 -2 Pa = 8.92 x 10 -5 mmHg at 25°C
P = 9.3 mPa = 0.93 x 10 -2 Pa = 7.01 x 10 -5 mmHg at 20°C
