Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information

No experimental data evaluating the biodegradation potential of l-Glutamic acid, N-coco acyl derivs., disodium salts (CAS No. 68187-30-4) are available. Therefore, data from a structurally related analogue substance is used in a read-across approach in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. A biodegradation screening study performed with the read-across substance l-Glutamic acid, N-coco acyl derivs., monosodium salts (CAS No. 68187-32-6) showed 94.4 % biodegradation after 28 days. Based on this result, l-Glutamic acid, N-coco acyl derivs., disodium salts (CAS No. 68187-30-4) is expected to be readily biodegradable as well and therefore, rapidly biodegraded in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Thus, in accordance with Annex IX, column 2 (9.2.1.2, 9.2.1.3 and 9.2.1.4) of regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, further simulation testing on biodegradation of the substance in water, sediment and soil is not required.
