Health assessment of didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) residues in food - BfR opinion No 027/2012, 09 July 2012
ثبت نشده
چکیده
On the occasion of quality controls in food business and during official food surveillance, didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) residues in excess of the currently applicable maximum residue level (MRL) of 0.01 mg/kg were detected in food. The first opinion on DDAC residues, which was issued by the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) on 29 June 2012 (BfR opinion No 024/2012, available in German language only) was based on only few residue data. Meanwhile the BfR has been provided with many additional data. Based on these, the BfR has updated its assessment whether the detected residues pose a health risk for consumers.

Didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) is used in many types of biocidal products including tableware, carpets, humidifiers, and swimming pools, etc. In spite of increased chances of DDAC exposure through inhalation, studies on the inhalation toxicity of DDAC are not common even though the toxicity of DDAC might be significantly higher if it were to be administered through routes other than th...
متن کاملEffects of Didecyldimethylammonium Chloride on Sprague-Dawley Rats after Two Weeks of Inhalation Exposure
Didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) is used for various purposes, such as a fungicide for coolants, an antiseptic for wood, and disinfectant for cleaning. Despite the increasing likelihood of DDAC inhalation, available data on its toxicity from inhalation are scarce. Therefore, this study was aimed at confirming the toxicity of DDAC after inhalation exposure for 2 wk. Male Sprague-Dawley ra...

Capsaicinoids are responsible for the sharp, burning taste of certain fruits used as spices or vegetables, such as capsicum or chilli peppers. Capsaicinoids are e.g. capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin and nordihydrocapsaicin. Capsaicin usually accounts for two-thirds to threequarters of the total capsaicinoid content. Because extremely hot spicy sauces with high to very high capsaicinoid concentration...

Mode-of-action studies concluded that alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride (ADBAC) (a blend of C(12), C(14) and C(16) alkyl homologues) and didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) are both membrane-active agents, possessing subtly different modes of action reflecting early cell interactions against Staphylococcus aureus. ADBAC and DDAC exhibited similar MIC behaviors from 0.4 ppm to 1.8 ppm ove...
