It demonstrates free protease activity in the Assay for Free protease activity.<\/p>\n<p>B. Triturate 0.25 g with 10 mL of water and adjust to pH 8.0 by the addition of 1M sodium hydroxide using cresol red solution as indicator. Divide the resulting solution into two equal portions. Boil one portion [solution (1)] and leave the other untreated [solution (2)]. Dissolve 0.1 g of soluble starch in 100 mL of boiling water, boil for 2 minutes, cool and dilute to 150 mL with water. Add solution (1) to half the starch mucilage and solution (2) to the remainder and maintain the mixtures at 38\u00b0 to 40\u00b0 for 5 minutes. To 1 mL of each mixture add 10 mL of iodinated potassium iodide solution. The liquid containing solution (2) retains the colour of the solution of iodine and the liquid containing solution (1) acquires an intense blue colour.<\/p>\n<h2>TESTS<\/h2>\n<h3>Fat<\/h3>\n<p>Extract 1 g with petroleum spirit (boiling range, 40\u00b0 to 60\u00b0) for 3 hours in an apparatus for the continuous extraction of drugs, Appendix XI F, evaporate the extract and dry the residue at 105\u00b0 for 2 hours. The residue weighs not more than<br \/>\n30 mg.<\/p>\n<h4>Loss on drying<\/h4>\n<p>When dried at 60\u00b0 at a pressure not exceeding 0.7 kPa for 4 hours, loses not more than 5.0% of its weight.
