Specifications of Acacia BP Ph Eur Grade:
When Powdered Acacia is prescribed or demanded, material complying with the requirements below except for Identification test A shall be dispensed or supplied.
Action and use: Bulk-forming laxative; excipient.

DEFINITION
Air-hardened, gummy exudate flowing naturally from or obtained by incision of the trunk and branches of Acacia senegal L. Willd. (syn. Senegalia senegal (L.) Britton), other species of Acacia of African origin and Acacia seyal Delile.

CHARACTERS
Acacia is almost completely but very slowly soluble, after about 2 h, in twice its mass of water leaving only a very small residue of vegetable particles; the liquid obtained is colourless or yellowish, dense, viscous, adhesive, translucent and weakly acid to blue litmus paper. Acacia is practically insoluble in ethanol (96 per cent).

IDENTIFICATION
A. Acacia occurs as yellowish-white, yellow or pale amber, sometimes with a pinkish tint, friable, opaque, spheroidal, oval or reniform pieces (tears) of a diameter from about 1-3 cm, frequently with a cracked surface, easily broken into irregular, whitish or slightly yellowish angular fragments with conchoidal fracture and a glassy and transparent appearance. In the center of an unbroken tear there is sometimes a small cavity.
B. Microscopic examination. The powder is white or yellowish-white. Examine under a microscope using a 50 per cent V/V solution of glycerol. The powder shows the following diagnostic characters: angular, irregular, colourless, transparent fragments. Only traces of starch or vegetable tissues are visible. No stratified membrane is apparent.
C. Examine the chromatograms obtained in the test for glucose and fructose.
Results The chromatogram obtained with the test solution shows 3 zones due to galactose, arabinose and rhamnose. No other important zones are visible, particularly in the upper part of the chromatogram.
D. Dissolve 1 g of the powdered herbal drug in 2 mL of water by stirring frequently for 2 h. Add 2 mL of ethanol (96 per cent). After shaking, a white, gelatinous mucilage is formed which becomes fluid on adding 10 mL of water.

TESTS
Solution S: Dissolve 3.0 g of the powdered herbal drug in 25 mL of water R by stirring for 30 min. Allow to stand for 30 min and dilute to 30 mL with water.
Insoluble matter: Maximum 0.5 per cent.
Glucose and fructose: To pass the test by Thin-layer chromatography.
Starch, dextrin and agar: To 10 mL of solution S previously boiled and cooled add 0.1 mL of 0.05 M iodine. No blue or reddish-brown colour develops.
Sterculia gum: To pass the test.
Tannins: To 10 mL of solution S add 0.1 mL of ferric chloride solution. A gelatinous precipitate is formed, but neither the precipitate nor the liquid are dark blue.
Tragacanth: To pass the test by chromatograms.
Loss on drying: Maximum 15.0 per cent, determined on 1.000 g of the powdered herbal drug by drying in an oven at 105C.
Total ash: Maximum 4.0 per cent.
Microbial contamination:
TAMC: acceptance criterion 10000 CFU/g.
TYMC: acceptance criterion 10000 CFU/g.
Absence of Escherichia coli.
Absence of Salmonella.

CHARACTERS
It dissolves completely and rapidly, after about 20 min, in twice its mass of water. The liquid obtained is colourless or yellowish, dense, viscous, adhesive, translucent and weakly acid to blue litmus paper. Spray-dried acacia is practically insoluble in ethanol (96 per cent).

IDENTIFICATION
A. Examined under a microscope, in ethanol (96 per cent), the powder is seen to consist predominantly of spheroidal particles about 4-40 µm in diameter, with a central cavity containing 1 or several air-bubbles; a few minute flat fragments are present. Only traces of starch granules are visible. No vegetable tissue is seen.
