Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Ames test

There are no studies available for (R)-ammonium mandelat, but for (R) – mandelic acid.

The substance (R) – mandelic acid was tested for its mutagenic potential in bacterial strains, i.e. Salmonella typhimurlium TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537 and TA 98 and E. coli WP2 uvrA in a standard plate test (SPT) and preincubation test (PIT) with and without metabolic activation.

The dose range was 20 - 5000 µg/plate (SPT) and 4 – 2500 µg/pate (PIT). No precipitation of the test substance was found. A bacteriotoxic effeet was observed under all test conditions. An increase in the number of his+ or trp+ revertants was not observed in the standard plate test or in the preincubation test either without S-9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system. According to the results of the present study, the test substance ChiPros (R) –mandelic acid is not mutagenic in the Salmonella Typhimurium / Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay under the experimental conditions chosen here.[BASF, 2002]


Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
Only one study available

Short description of key information:
Ames (ChiPros (R)-mandelic acid): negative

Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)

Justification for classification or non-classification

No need for classification according the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
