Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The melting/freezing point of citronella oil (cymbopogon nardus) is < -25ºC at ambient pressure.
- Executive summary:
Citronella oil (cymbopogon nardus) has a melting point <-25ºC at ambient pressure after storage at a temperature of -25ºC for 84h as determined by visual inspection according to the methodology proposed by the EFFA/EFEO guideline ''The Registration for REACH
of Natural Complex Substances used as Fragrance Ingredients''.
