Stability
Optimal stability is observed within a pH range of 6 to 9. Stability is moderate at pH 3.5 and notably poor at pH 3. When diluted, it is often stabilized effectively with alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E) to maintain integrity.
Synergies
- Alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E) for stabilization
Conflicts
- Highly acidic environments (pH < 3.5)
Safety
Safety Profile
Tridecenal has been primarily assessed as a flavor and fragrance agent, with no significant safety concerns identified at typical intake levels by JECFA. The RIFM recommends usage levels up to 1.00% in fragrance concentrates. Dermal toxicity studies in rabbits and guinea pigs show low toxicity (LD50 > 5000 mg/kg), and GHS classification indicates it does not meet hazard criteria in 98.9% of reports. It is recognized by the FDA as a food additive and flavoring agent.
