| # | TEST | SPECIFICATION - USP |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Description | It occurs as a white to yellowish fibrous or granular powder. |
| 2 | Identification Test (A) Test (B) |
(A) A blue to blue-violet color, due to formaldehyde, develops in about 20 min. (B) A green color, due to acetaldehyde, develops. |
| 3 | Solubility | It is soluble in water, in solutions of dilute organic acids, and, depending on the degree of esterification, in hydroalcoholic mixture containing up to 60% by weight of alcohol to form stable, viscous colloidal solutions at a pH of 3. |
