Not available and not required as the intended use is an indoor post‐harvest treatment.
Processed commodities (hydrolysis study) Conditions Stable? Comment/Source
Pasteurisation (20 min, 90°C, pH 4) Inconclusive Standard hydrolysis studies not available (EFSA, 2013)
Baking, brewing and boiling (60 min, 100°C, pH 5) Inconclusive Standard hydrolysis studies not available (EFSA, 2013)

Other processing conditions: boiling (30 min, 100°C) Yes Non‐standard study, following typical household method with [14C]‐1,4‐dimethylnaphthalene. Formation of unknown metabolites tentatively identified as glycoside conjugates of M21 (EFSA, 2021)
Other processing conditions: baking (45 min, 180°C) Yes Non‐standard study, following typical household method with [14C]‐1,4‐dimethylnaphthalene. Formation of unknown metabolites tentatively identified as glycoside conjugates of M21 (EFSA, 2021)
Other processing conditions: frying (5 min, 190°C) Yes Non‐standard study, following typical household method with [14C]‐1,4‐dimethylnaphthalene. Formation of unknown metabolites tentatively identified as glycoside conjugates of M21 (EFSA, 2021)
