Some of the characteristics described in the Functionality-related characteristics section may also be present in the mandatory part of the monograph since the also represent mandatory quality criteria. In such cases, a cross-reference to the tests described in the mandatory part is included in the Functionality-related characteristics section. Control of the characteristics can contribute to the quality of a<br \/>\nmedicinal product by improving the consistency of the manufacturing process and the performance of the medicinal product during use. Where control methods are cited, they are recognised as being suitable for the purpose, but other methods can also be used. Wherever results for a particular characteristic are reported, the control method must be indicated.<\/p>\n<p>The following characteristics may be relevant for caprylocaproyl macrogolglycerides used as self-emulsifying agents and solubilisers.<\/p>\n<p>Hydroxyl value<\/p>\n<p>(see Tests).<\/p>\n<p>Saponification value<\/p>\n<p>(see Tests).<\/p>\n<p>Composition of fatty acids<\/p>\n<p>(see Tests).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Ph.
