Sodium Propionate Commercial Food Grade & Pure Specifications

Sodium Propionate
CH3CH2COONa
C3H5NaO2 Formula weight 96.06
INS: 281 CAS Number 137-40-6

DESCRIPTION
Sodium Propionate occurs as white or colorless, transparent crystals or as a granular, crystalline powder. It is hygroscopic in moist air. One gram is soluble in about 1 mL of water at 25C, in about 0.65 mL of boiling water, and in about 24 mL of alcohol. The pH of a 1:10 aqueous solution is between 8.0 and 10.5.
Function: Preservative, mold inhibitor.

REQUIREMENTS
Identification:
A. A 1:20 aqueous solution gives positive tests for Sodium.
B. Upon ignition, a sample yields an alkaline residue that effervesces with acids.
C. Warm a small sample with sulfuric acid. Propionic acid, recognized by its odor, evolves.
Assay: Not less than 99.0% and not more than 100.5% of C3H5NaO2 after drying.
Alkalinity (as Na2CO3): Passes test (about 0.15%).
Iron: Not more than 0.003%.
Lead: Not more than 2 mg/kg.
Water: Not more than 1%.

DEFINITION
Content: 99.0 per cent to 101.0 per cent Sodium propionate (dried substance).

CHARACTERS
Appearance: Colourless crystals or, white or almost white powder, slightly hygroscopic.
Solubility: Freely soluble in water, sparingly soluble in alcohol, practically insoluble in methylene chloride.

IDENTIFICATION
First identification A, D.
Second identification B, C, D.
A. Infrared absorption spectrophotometry.
B. Dissolve 0.1 g in a mixture of 2 ml of copper sulphate solution and 2 ml of methylene chloride. Shake vigorously and allow to stand. Both the upper and the lower layer show a blue colour.
C. To 5 ml of solution S add 2 ml of 0.1 M silver nitrate. A white precipitate is formed.
D. Solution S gives reaction of sodium.

TESTS
Solution S: Dissolve 10 g Sodium propionate in carbon dioxide-free water prepared from distilled water and dilute to 100 ml with the same solvent.
Appearance of solution: Solution S is clear and colourless.
pH: 7.8 to 9.2, Dilute 1 ml of solution S to 5 ml with water.
Related substances: To pass the test
Readily oxidizable substances: In a ground-glass-stoppered conical flask introduce 10 g of the substance ( Sodium propionate.) to be examined. Add 100 ml of water R and stir to dissolve. Add 25 ml of sodium hypobromite solution and 10 ml of a 200 g/l solution of sodium acetate, stopper the flask and allow to stand for 15 min. Add 10 ml of potassium iodide solution and 20 ml of hydrochloric acid while cooling. Titrate with 0.2 M sodium thiosulphate, adding 2 ml of starch solution R towards the end of the titration. Carry out a blank titration. The difference between the volumes used in the 2 titrations is not greater than 2.2 ml.
Iron: Maximum 10 ppm. 10 ml of solution S complies with the limit test for iron.
Heavy metals: Maximum 10 ppm. 12 ml of solution S complies with limit test A. Prepare the standard using lead standard solution (1 ppm Pb).
Loss on drying: Maximum 0.5 per cent, determined on 1.000 g by heating in an oven at 105C for 3 h.

ASSAY
Dissolve 80.0 mg Sodium propionate in 30 ml of anhydrous acetic acid R. Titrate with 0.1 M perchloric acid, determining the end-point potentiometrically.
1 ml of 0.1 M perchloric acid is equivalent to 9.61 mg of C3H5NaO2.

(Official until July 1, 2007)
Assay: Dissolve about 200 mg of Sodium Propionate, previously dried at 105 for 2 hours and accurately weighed, in 50 mL of glacial acetic acid. Add 1 drop of crystal violet TS, and titrate with 0.1 N perchloric acid VS to a green endpoint. Perform a blank determination, and make any necessary correction. Each mL of 0.1 N perchloric acid is equivalent to 9.606 mg of C3H5NaO2.
