Read-across from an analogue substance.
The analogue substance Turkish Rose Absolute and the registered substance Turkish Rose Concrete have the same botanical origin: Rosa Damascena (Rosaceae). They are both obtained from fresh rose flowers. They follow the same production pattern. They both have the same main constituents and in similar concentrations, regarding their respective SIP. Based on these similarities, both substances are not expected to show different ecotoxicological behaviour. Thereby, results from the experimental OECD 201 study assessing the toxicity of the analogue substance Turkish Rose Absolute on freshwater algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata can be used as a read accross in the present dossier.- Qualifier:

- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
The test item was not soluble in the test medium, a special solubilisation protocol was carried out before the experimentation, according to the OECD n°23 guidance document on aquatic toxicity testing of difficult substances and mixtures.
Cultures of exponentially-growing algae were exposed to five test item concentrations in algae test medium (OECD medium) plus a control.
The medium was prepared from concentrated stock solutions in ultrapure water as described in the guideline.
Preparation of test solutions for the testing
This method consisted in stirring each test item nominal concentrations in test medium during 24 hours, in the dark and 20±2°C (these concentrations were prepared by adding directly the test item in flasks containing test medium).
All the test solutions plus WAF Control (algae test medium) were then filtered through a membrane filter to remove suspended particles: solutions obtained were named WAF (Water Accommodated Fraction). - Test organisms (species):
- Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum)

- TEST ORGANISM

The average specific growth rate (µ) was determined according to the OECD guideline.
Statistical significance was determined with the Dunnett test (α=5%) from raw data with the scientific software Minitab 17.2.1 to determined NOEC/LOEC. No significant difference between the control was observed at the lowest concentration 77.0 mg/L.
NOEC = 77.0 mg/L

A weak difference in NPOC content between T0h and T72h causes a large variation (out of specification).
Under Abiotic conditions (without algae), the test item “ROSE TURKISH ABSOLUTE” is not considered to be stable for the nominal concentrations 11.4 and 29.6 mg/L because the measured concentrations of the test item did vary by more than ± 20% of the initial concentrations during the test.For the concentration 200.0 mg/L, the deviation between T0 and T72 hours was less than± 20% of the initial concentration.
Under biotic conditions (with algae), the test item “ROSE TURKISH ABSOLUTE” is considered to be stable for the nominal concentrations 11.4 and 200.0 mg/L, except the following concentrations 4.4 – 29.6 and 77.0 mg/L.
According to theses results and for this study, the concentrations are expressed in nominal mg “ROSE TURKISH ABSOLUTE” / L.

Description of key information
Based on a read-across from an experimental GLP study performed on the analogue substance Turkish rose absolute according to the OECD 201 guideline, the following results, based on growth rate, have been extrapolated to the registered substance:
- ErC50-(0-72h) = 175.0 mg/L [95% CI: 162.0 - 180.0 mg/L]
- ErC10-(0-72h) = 103.6 mg/L [95% CI: 79.5 - 121.5 mg/L]
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 175 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 103.6 mg/L
Additional information
For that endpoint, a study on the registered substance was not available. Therefore, in order to assess the toxicity of the registered substance to freshwater algae, the results from an experimental OECD 201 study performed on the analogue substance Turskish rose absolute have been used.
In this study, the toxic effect of the test item Turskish rose absolute to the unicellular algal species Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was investigated in a 72h-static limit test using Water Accommodated Fractions. The method followed was designed to be compliant with the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 201, "Freshwater Alga and Cyanobacteria, Growth Inhibition Test", referenced as Method C.3 of Commission Regulation No. 761/2009 and with the “Guidance document on aquatic toxicity testing of difficult substances and mixtures” (OECD No. 23).
Based on growth rate inhibition, the results for the analogue substance were as follows:
Test item (nominal concentration) |
ErC10-(0-72h) With 95 % confidence interval [lower – upper] |
ErC50-(0-72h) With 95 % confidence interval [lower – upper] |
ROSE TURKISH ABSOLUTE |
103.6 mg/L [79.5 – 121,5] |
175.0 mg/L [162.0 – 180.0] |
The validity criteria were fulfilled and the study respected the requirements of the guideline. This study was therefore considered acceptable for that endpoint and the read-across justification is provided in the iuclid study record.
