Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The melting/freezing point of Neroli oil is < -100 °C.

Executive summary:

The melting point of Neroli oil was determined by DSC method in compliance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Council Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 EC A.1. method (2008) and OECD Guideline No. 102 (1995).

After maintaining the test item at cold temperature, the test item is heated within a nitrogen atmosphere, at atmospheric pressure, using the Differential Scanning Calorimetry method (DSC). As such, the temperature at which the test item changes from the solid state to the liquid state is determined, except if the freezing of the test item cannot be obtained.

The test item sample and reference material are both kept at the temperature predetermined by the program even during a thermal event in the sample. The amount of energy which has to be supplied to the sample to maintain a zero temperature differential between the test item sample and the reference material is the experimental parameter displayed as the ordinate of the thermal analysis curve. The rate of energy absorption by the sample is proportional to the specific heat of the sample.

Any transition accompanied by a change in specific heat produces a discontinuity in the power signal. Melting of the test item is characterised by an endothermic enthalpy change that gives a peak whose area is proportional to the total enthalpy change, whereas freezing is characterised by an exothermic peak.

Two assays were performed during the test from -100°C to 50°C. No melting point was observed.

Neroli oil has a melting/freezing point < -100°C at 1013.25 hPa according to the test guidelines OECD 102 and EU Method A.1.
