Typical compendial tests include polarimetry to demonstrate a negative bend of the polarized light although the way it is written, there could be errors, a sieve analysis to show that"less than 1% is retained on a 100 mesh screen," heating with a copper salt--a red color means the material is a "reducing sugar"--and a quick mid-range infrared spectrum.
