-
Add footnote 2: "Portions of this monograph are reproduced with permission from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations JECFA Monograph 19 (2016)."
-
Add two synonyms to the list within the Chemical Information section.
-
Revise the Description.
-
In the Assay, remove the requirement for Method III from the test for Total Color.
-
Update the test method and Acceptance criteria in the test for Lead.
-
Replace the Uncombined Intermediates and Products of Side Reactions test with the Organic Compounds Other Than Coloring Matters test in Organic Impurities.
-
Replace the existing test for Subsidiary Colors in Specific Tests with a new Subsidiary Coloring Matters test in Organic Impurities.
-
Add the test for Unsulfonated Primary Aromatic Amines to Organic Impurities.
Additionally, minor editorial changes have been made to update the monograph to current USP style.
This proposal is targeted for publication in the Second Supplement to FCC 15.
