Folic Acid contains not less than 97.0 percent and not more than 102.0 percent of C19H19N7O6, calculated on the anhydrous basis.

Characteristic: Yellow or orange crystalline powder. Odorless and tasteless.

Melting point: 250°C

Specific rotation:  20° (c=1, 0.1N NaOH)

Water solubility: Not easily soluble in water and ethanol. Slightly soluble methanol; soluble in acid or alkaline solution.

Function and Usage: Folic acid acts as a coenzyme (with vitamin B-12 and vitamin C) in the breakdown (metabolism) of proteins and in the synthesis of new proteins. It is necessary for the production of red blood cells and the synthesis of DNA (which controls heredity), as well as tissue growth and cell function. It also increases the appetite and stimulates the formation of digestive acids.

Synthetic folic acid supplements may be used in the treatment of disorders associated with folic acid deficiency, and may also be part of the recommended treatment for certain menstrual problems and leg ulcers.
