Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Shikimic acid is melting at 183 °C followed by decompositon. The direct determination of the vapour pressure of the solid at 25 °C would be very difficult as the sensitivity of the normally available measurement methods would not be enough. Therefore a calculation method was chosen which was validated by the determined melting and boiling point.
Within Episuite the tool MPBPWIN v1.43 was used to calculate the vapour pressure at 25°C with the Modified Grain Method based on the measured melting point and the estimated boiling point.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
other: calculation with Epi Suite 4.10
