Preserve in tight, light-resistant containers.
Identification
Solution:
8 µg per mL.
Medium:
methanol.
Melting range 741:
between 76 and 78.

Assay
Dissolve about 300 mg of Ethyl Vanillin, previously dried and accurately weighed, in 50 mL of dimethylformamide contained in a 125-mL conical flask. Add thymol blue TS, and titrate with 0.1 N sodium methoxide VS, using a magnetic stirrer and taking precautions against the absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Perform a blank determination, and make any necessary correction. Each mL of 0.1 N sodium methoxide is equivalent to 16.62 mg of C9H10O3.
