Ascorbyl Palmitate
» Ascorbyl Palmitate contains not less than 95.0 percent and not more than 100.5 percent of C22H38O7, calculated on the dried basis.
Packaging and storage
Preserve in tight containers, in a cool, dry place.
Identification
Dissolve 1 g in 25 mL of alcohol, and add 1 mL of a 1 in 1000 solution of 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol sodium in alcohol: the blue color of the 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol sodium solution is discharged immediately.
Melting range 741:
between 107 and 117.
Specific rotation 781S:
between +21 and +24.
Test solution:
100 mg per mL, in methanol.
Loss on drying 731
Dry it in vacuum at 60 for 1 hour: it loses not more than 2.0% of its weight.
Residue on ignition 281:
not more than 0.1%.
Heavy metals, Method II 231:
0.001%.
Assay
Dissolve about 300 mg of Ascorbyl Palmitate, accurately weighed, in 50 mL of alcohol, add 30 mL of water, and immediately titrate with 0.1 N iodine VS to a yellow color that persists for not less than 30 seconds. Each mL of 0.1 N iodine is equivalent to 20.73 mg of C22H38O7.
