Toxicity evaluation
The acute oral LD50 value in rats was reported as 0.85 g/kg (0.65-1.05 g/kg) (Moreno, 1973). The oral LD50 values for trans-2-hexenal were reported as 780-1130 and 1550-1750 mg/kg in rats and mice, respectively, and the ip LD50 values were reported as 100-200 mg/kg in both species (Gaunt, Colley, Wright, Creasey, Grasso & Gangolli, 1971). The acute dermal LD50 value in rabbits was reported as 0.60 g/kg (0.37-0.83 g/kg) (Moreno, 1973).
