Ziboxan® F200 Specification


1. Appearance
By visual.
2. Viscosity (1% Solution)
Prepare a 1% salt solution of product by slowly adding a dry blend of 3.0 g of product and
3.0 g of potassium chloride to 250 ml of distilled or deionized water in a 400 ml beaker,
while stirring at 800 rpm using a low-pitched propeller type stirrer. Add an additional 44 ml of
distilled or deionized water, rinsing the walls of the beaker, and continue stirring at 800 rpm
for 2 hours. At the end of this period, adjust the temperature of the solution to 25C (77F),
stirring by hand in a vertical motion to eliminate any layering effects. Measure the viscosity
immediately using Brookfield LV viscometer at 60 rpm, with spindle no. 3, at 25C.
3. pH
Measure the pH at 25C by testing a solution prepared as above, but omitting the potassium
chloride, using a pH meter.
4. Loss on Drying
Spread 2-5 g product evenly on a pre-dried tared watched glass and weigh accurately. Dry
in an oven at 105 + 1C for 2.5 hours. Cool in a desiccator and re-weigh.
5. Ash
Using a suitable furnace, ash 3 g of product, pre-dried at 105 C for 4 hours, in a platinum
crucible at 650 C until no carbon remains.
6. Particle Size
Sieve 20 g product on the specified British Standard Screens for 10 minutes each screen.
Record the weight of product remaining on each screen and calculate the percentage which
passes through each specified screen.
7. V1/V2
V1/V2 may be determined by FCC V for xanthan gum.
8. Pyruvic acid
Use the procedure defined in the current FCC V for xanthan gum.
9. Total Heavy Metals
These metals may be determined by USP28
10. Lead
Lead may be determined by USP28
11. Arsenic
Arsenic may be determined by USP28
12. Microbiological Limits
For bacteria (TVMAC), yeast and mold E coli, salmonella follow the procedures as given for
microbial limit tests in the current edition of the USP28. Method for coliform is available on
request. For bacteria, plate out 4 ml of 0.25% solution and incubate for 48 hours at 35-
37degrees C. For yeast and mold plate out 4 ml of 0.25% solution on acidified potato
dextrose agar and incubate for 5 days at 25-28 degrees C. Express results as colony
forming units (c.f.u.) per gram.
