cis-3,Hexenyl tiglate is not included in the listings of the FDA, ,FEMA (1965) or the Council of Europe (1974), or in the Food Chemical5 Codex (1972). CAS Registry No. 67883-79-S. Biological data
Acute toxicity. Both the acute oral LD.~o in rats and the acute dermal LD~o in rabbits exceeded 5 g/kg (Morcno. 1976). Irritation. cis-3.Hexcnyl tiglate applied full strength to intact or abraded rabbit skin for 24 hr under occlusion was moderately irritating (Moreno, 1976). Senxitization. A maximization test (Kligman, 1966; Kligntan & Epstein, 1975) was carried out on 25 volunteers. The material was tested at a conoentration of 12~,~, in petrolatum and produced rto sensitization reactions (Frost. 1976). References Arctander. S.
