Iodine value (see Tests).<\/p>\n<p>B. Saponification value (see Tests).<\/p>\n<p>C. Thin-layer chromatography (2.2.27).<\/p>\n<p>Test solution: To 1 g of the substance to be examined add 100 mL of a 100 g\/L solution of potassium hydroxide R and boil under a reflux condenser for 30 min. Allow to cool. Acidify the solution with 20 mL of hydrochloric acid R. Shake the<br \/>\nmixture with 50 mL of ether R and allow to stand until separation of the layers is obtained. Transfer the clear upper layer to a suitable tube, add 5 g of anhydrous sodium sulfate R, close the tube and allow to stand for 30 min. Filter and evaporate the filtrate to dryness on a water-bath. Dissolve 50 mg of the residue in 25 mL of ether R.<\/p>\n<p>Reference solution: Dissolve 50 mg of ricinoleic acid R in methylene chloride R and dilute to 25 mL with the same solvent.<\/p>\n<p>Plate: TLC octadecylsilyl silica gel plate R.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile phase: methylene chloride R, glacial acetic acid R, acetone R (10:40:50 V\/V\/V).<\/p>\n<p>Application: 2 \u03bcL.<\/p>\n<p>Development: Over a path of 8 cm.<\/p>\n<p>Drying: In a current of cold air.<\/p>\n<p>Detection: Spray with an 80 g\/L solution of phosphomolybdic acid R in 2-propanol R and heat at 120 \u00b0C for 1-2 min.<\/p>\n<p>Results: The principal spot in the chromatogram obtained with the test solution is similar in position and colour to the principal spot in the chromatogram obtained with the reference solution.<\/p>\n<p>D. Place about 2 g of the substance to be examined in a test-tube and add 0.2 mL of sulfuric acid R. Close the tube using a stopper fitted with a glass tube bent twice at right angles. Heat the tube until white fumes appear. Collect the fumes in 1 mL of mercuric chloride solution R. A white precipitate is formed and the fumes turn a filter paper impregnated with alkaline potassium tetraiodomercurate solution R black.<\/p>\n<h2>TESTS<\/h2>\n<h3>Solution S<\/h3>\n<p>Dissolve 5.0 g in carbon dioxide-free water R and dilute to 50 mL with the same solvent.<\/p>\n<h3>Appearance of solution<\/h3>\n<p>Solution S is not more opalescent than reference suspension III (2.2.1) and not more intensely coloured than reference solution BY<sub>5<\/sub> (2.2.2, Method II).
