Appearance

Amorphous, white powder.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, alcohol and oils, soluble in diluted Hydrochloric acid or Nitric acid.

Odor

Odorless and tasteless.

Uses in perfumery

The title material is briefly mentioned in this work, because it may be used in considerable amounts in dental powders, toothpaste, etc. as an abrasive, and in various food products as a non-caking agent. It is also used in certain beverages where the acidity is sufficiently high. Concentrations are up to 1000 ppm in beverages, about 50 to 100 ppm in other food products.

Uses in flavor

The title material is compatible with almost all known flavor materials and causes no great problem in that respect, but it may occasionally enhance the musty odor of Glycerin or Glycols, materials which are used in dentifrice preparations.
