Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

The eye irritancy potential of Raspberry Ketone was investigated in the bovine corneal

opacity and permeability assay.

Due to its solubility, the test item was directly applied and tested as provided by the

sponsor.

The following mean in vitro irritation score was calculated:

46.01

No prediction can be made regarding the classification of the test substance Raspberry

Ketone according to the evaluation criteria. Further testing in another suitable method is

required.

The in vitro irritation score obtained with the positive control fell within the two standard

deviations of the current historical mean and therefore this assay is considered to be

valid.
