Description of key information
L-valine is readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
A GLP guideline study according to OECD 301 F was performed.
More than 60% degradation was reached on day 5, the 10-day window criterion was passed. The mean biodegradation after 28 days of L-Valine was 108% (ThODNH4) and 82% (ThODNO3).
The degradation rate of L-Valine under consideration of nitrification reached 60% within the 10-day window and after 28 days of incubation.
According to the guideline OECD 301, L-Valine is considered to be readily biodegradable.
This experimental result of a GLP guideline study was expected due to an estimation by calculation.
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.
