Processed commodities (hydrolysis study) Conditions Stable? Comment/Source
Pasteurisation (20 min, 90°C, pH 4) Yes

Standard hydrolysis studies performed with quizalofop in the framework of the MRL review for quizalofop‐P‐tefuryl and expected to cover all three ester variants (EFSA, 2017) and with quizalofop‐P‐ethyl (EFSA, 2021)

No study available propaquizafop, but the available studies cover all three ester variants (EFSA, 2021)
