| Test Item | Common Testing Methods | Method Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Characteristics | Visual and Olfactory Method | Observe the appearance of menthol (colorless needle-like or prismatic crystals) and its odor (cooling mint aroma) to determine if it matches the pharmacopoeia description. |
| Melting Point | Capillary Melting Point Method | Determine the melting temperature according to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia or USP standards using a melting point apparatus (standard range: 42–45 °C) to assess purity. |
| Specific Optical Rotation | Polarimetry | Measure the specific optical rotation of its ethanol solution using a polarimeter (+48° to +51°), used to identify optical isomer composition and purity. |
| Identification Test | Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) / Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) | IR method compares characteristic absorption peaks; TLC method confirms identity by comparing Rf values with reference standards. |
| Related Substances (Impurities) | Gas Chromatography (GC) | Use capillary column separation and FID detector to quantitatively analyze impurities (e.g., isomenthol, menthone), control total impurities ≤0.5%. |
| Assay (Content Determination) | Gas Chromatography (GC) / Non-aqueous Titration | GC internal standard method or area normalization method to quantify main component content (should be ≥99.0%); non-aqueous titration (perchloric acid titration) can also be used for content determination. |
| Heavy Metals | Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) / ICP-MS | Detect residual elements such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury according to pharmacopoeia general chapters, ensuring compliance with limit standards (usually ≤10 ppm). |
| Water Content | Karl Fischer Method | Determine water content in the sample using coulometric or volumetric method (typically ≤0.5%) to prevent moisture-induced instability. |
| Residual Solvents | Headspace Gas Chromatography (HS-GC) | Detect possible residual organic solvents (e.g., ethanol, n-hexane) from the manufacturing process, complying with ICH Q3C guideline limits. |
| Microbial Limits | Plate Count Method / Membrane Filtration Method | Test for total aerobic microbial count, total combined molds and yeasts count, and specified microorganisms (e.g., Escherichia coli, Salmonella) according to pharmacopoeia requirements to ensure microbiological safety. |
