Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 5 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

not determinable due to absence of adverse toxic effects

Mortality:

None of the animals died during the observation period.

Clinical signs:

other: No abnormal observations. The pigment was excreted via the faeces.

Gross pathology:

No abnormal findings.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The LD50 was determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

In this acute oral toxicity study comparable to OECD guideline 401, ten female Wistar rats were exposed to the test material (25 % in sesame oil) via gavage at a final dose of 5000 mg/kg bw. No control animals were used.  During the obervation period of 14 days no mortality or abnormal clinical signs were found. The test material was excreted via the feces. Additionally no effects on body weight gain nor abnormals findings at necropsy could be observed. Based on the results of this study, the LD50 was determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.
