| Sr.No. | Test | Result | Specification |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Description | A white, crystalline powder; odourless,hygroscopic. | A white, crystalline or granular powder or flakes; odourless or with a faint odour,hygroscopic. |
| 2 | Solubility | Passes | Freely soluble in water, sparinly soluble in ethanol (95%) |
| 3 | Identification A (By Chemical test) | Complies | A white crystalline precipitate should produce |
| 4 | Identification B (Reaction B for benzoates) | Complies | A white sublimate should deposit on the inner wall of the tube and no charring should occur |
| 5 | Identification B (Reaction C for benzoates) | Complies | After crystallization, melting point should be about 122°C. |
| 6 | Appearance of solution | Passes | A 10.0%w/v solution in carbon dioxide-free water is clear and not more intensely coloured than reference solution YS6. |
| 7 | Acidity or Alkalinity | Complies | Not more than 0.2ml of 0.1M hydrochloric acid or 0.2ml of 0.1M sodium hydroxide should require to change the colour of the solution. |
| 8 | Arsenic (As) | Less than 2 ppm | NMT 2 ppm |
| 9 | Heavy metals | Less than 10 ppm | NMT 10 ppm |
| 10 | Chlorinated compounds | Passes | Any opalescence produced in the sample solution should not be more intense than obtained with standard solution |
| 11 | Loss on drying | 0.7% | NMT 2.0% |
| 12 | Assay (on dried basis) | 99.7% | 99.0% - 100.5% |
