Technical Specification

Appearance (EP, BP) Yellow to orange-yellow crystalline powder
Appearance (JP) Yellow to orange-yellow crystals
Appearance (USP) Yellow to orange-yellow crystalline powder
Appearance (IP) Yellow to orange-yellow crystalline powder
Solubility (EP, BP) Very slightly soluble in water, practically insoluble in ethanol (96%)
Solubility (USP) Soluble in dilute solution of alkalies; very slightly soluble in water, in alcohol, and in isotonic sodium chloride solution; insoluble in ether and in chloroform
Solubility (JP) Very slightly soluble in water, practically insoluble in ethanol (95%), in acetic acid (100), and in diethyl ether. It dissolves in sodium hydroxide TS
Solubility (IP) Very slightly soluble in water, more soluble in saline solution than in water; practically insoluble in chloroform, in ethanol (95%) and in ether.
Identification A: Colour and fluorescence of solution (USP) The sample solution is pale greenish yellow by transmitted light. By reflected light, it exibits an intense yellowish green fluorescence that disappears upon the addition of mineral acids and alkalies
Identification A: Specific optical rotation (EP, BP) -135.00° to -115.00° (c = 0.50% in 0.05M NaOH, at 20 ± 0.5°C, dried substance, measure the rotation within 30 min. of dissolution)
Identification A : FTIR (IP) Matches with the standard pattern
Identification B : TLC (EP, BP) The principal spot in the chromatogram obtained with the test solution is similar in position and size to the principal spot in the chromatogram obtained with the reference solution.
Identification B (IP) A pale greenish yellow colour by transmitted light and an intense yellowish green fluorescence by reflected light, which disappears on addition of mineral acids or alkalis
Identification C (EP, BP) The solution has, by transmitted light, a pale greenish yellow colour, and, by reflected light, an intense yellowish-green fluorescence which disappears on the addition of mineral acids or alkalis.
Identification 1 (JP) The fluorescence disappears upon the addition of dilute hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide TS
Identification 2 (JP) The chloroform layer shows a yellow-green fluorescence.
Identification 3 (JP) Both spectra exhibit similar intensities of absorption at the same wavelengths.
Melting point (JP) about 290°C (with decompositions)
pH (Saturated aqueous solution) : (IP) 5.50 - 7.20
Specific rotation (USP, IP) -135.00° to -115.00° (c = 0.50% in 0.05M NaOH, measure the rotation within 30 min. of dissolution, use dry substance)
Specific rotation (EP, BP) -135.00° to -115.00° (c = 0.50% in 0.05M NaOH, at 20 ± 0.5°C, dried substance, measure the rotation within 30 min. of dissolution)
Optical rotation (JP) -142.00° to -128.00° (c = 0.50% at 20°C, 0.1 g of dried Riboflavin, dissolve in 4 mL of dilute NaOH TS, add 10 mL water, add 4 mL of aldehyde-free ethanol and dilute with water to make 20 mL, measure the rotation within 30 min. after preparing the solution)
