It is a greenish yellow colored, homogeneous, fine powder having characteristic bile like odor with partly bitter, partly sweet and disagreeable taste. It is freely soluble in distilled water. The aqueous solution is clear, yellow colored and produces foam if shaken strongly. The solution remains clear after autoclaving without developing any precipitate, or scum on surface of the liquid.
