DEFINITION
Acacia is the dried gummy exudate from the stems and branches of Acacia senegal (L.) Willd or of other related African species of Acacia (Fam. Leguminosae).

IDENTIFICATION
A.
Analysis: To 10 mL of a cold solution (1 in 50) add 0.2 mL of diluted lead subacetate.
Acceptance criteria: A flocculent, or curdy, white precipitate is formed immediately.

IMPURITIES
Arsenic, Method II: NMT 3 ppm
Lead: NMT 10 ppm
Botanic Characteristics:
Acacia: Spheroidal tears up to 32 mm in diameter or in angular fragments of white to yellowish white color. It is translucent or somewhat opaque from the presence of numerous minute fissures; very brittle, the fractured surface glassy and occasionally iridescent. It is almost odorless and produces a mucilaginous sensation on the tongue.

Powdered Acacia: White to yellowish white, angular microscopic fragments with only traces of starch or vegetable tissues present
Granular Acacia: White to pale yellowish white, fine granules. Under the microscope it appears as colorless, glassy, irregularly angular fragments up to 100 µm in thickness, some of which exhibit parallel linear streaks.
Spray-dried Acacia: White to off-white compacted microscopic fragments or whole spheres
Microbial Enumeration Tests and Tests for Specified Microorganisms: Meets the requirements of the tests for absence of Salmonella species
Water Determination, Method III (Gravimetric):
Analysis: For unground Acacia, crush in a mortar until it passes through a No. 40 sieve, and mix the ground material before weighing the test specimen. Dry a sample at 105C for 5 h.

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.

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.
B. 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.
