| 2 | Solubility | Complies | freely soluble in water. |
| 3 | Identification (Reaction (b) for Benzoate | Complies | A white sublimate should deposite on the inner wall of the tube. |
| 4 | Identification (Reaction (c) for Benzoate ) | 122.5°C | Melting point should be 120°C to 124°C after crystallization |
| 5 | Identification (Reaction (a) for Sodium) | Complies | A dense white precipitate should form |
| 6 | Identification (By IR) | Complies | IR spectra of the sample should be concomitant with IR spectra of the standard |
| 7 | Identification (By Chromatography) | Complies | The retention time of the major peak of the sample solution should correspond to that of the standard solution as obtained in the Assay |
| 8 | Appearance of solution | Complies | Solution should be clear and not more intensely colored than reference solution Y6. |
