dosage form monograph(s) in which Polysorbate 40 is
used can be met. Where the label states that Polysorbate 40 must be subjected to further processing during
the preparation of injectable dosage forms, the level of
bacterial endotoxins is such that the requirement in the
relevant dosage form monograph(s) in which Polysorbate 40 is used can be met.

DEFINITION
Polysorbate 60 is a mixture of stearate and palmitate esters
of sorbitol and its anhydrides copolymerized with about
20 moles of ethylene oxide for each mole of sorbitol and
sorbitol anhydrides. The fatty acids may be of vegetable,
animal, or synthetic origin.

DEFINITION
Polysorbate 80 is a mixture of partial esters of fatty acids,
mainly oleic acid, with sorbitol and its anhydrides ethoxylated with approximately 20 moles of ethylene oxide for
each mole of sorbitol and sorbitol anhydrides.
IDENTIFICATION
• It complies with the test for Composition of Fatty Acids.
ASSAY
• COMPOSITION OF FATTY ACIDS
Diluent: 20 g/L of sodium hydroxide in methanol
Saturated sodium chloride solution: Sodium chloride
and water (1:2). Before use, decant the solution from
any undissolved substance and filter, if necessary.
Reference solution A: Prepare 0.50 g of the mixture of
calibrating substances with the composition described
in Table 1. Dissolve in heptane, and dilute with heptane
to 50.0 mL.
Reference solution B: Reference solution A in heptane
(1 in 10)
Reference solution C: Prepare 0.50 g of a mixture of
fatty acid methyl esters, which corresponds to the composition of the substance to be examined. Dissolve in
heptane, and dilute with heptane to 50.0 mL. [NOTE—
Commercially available mixtures of fatty acid methyl esters may also be used.]
Sample solution: Dissolve 0.10 g of Polysorbate 80 in
2 mL of Diluent in a 25-mL conical flask, and boil under
a reflux condenser for 30 min. Add 2.0 mL of 14% boron trifluoride–methanol through the condenser, and
boil for 30 min. Add 4 mL of heptane through the condenser, and boil for 5 min. Cool and add 10.0 mL of
Saturated sodium chloride solution, shake for about 15 s,
and add a quantity of Saturated sodium chloride solution
such that the upper phase is brought into the neck of
the flask. Collect 2 mL of the upper phase, wash with
three quantities, each of 2 mL, of water, and dry over
anhydrous sodium sulfate.
