Chenging a colour s not a problm it is normal. But to dry monohydrate to unhydrous form heatind at 50 0C is NOT enogh. And ordinary "distilling off" a benzene is not very effective. You need a prolonged refluxing with Dean- stark apparatus with WIGOROUSLY stirring becauce PTSA xH2O is poorly mixed with benzene while no more water distill. And monohydate is a powder with high melting point, but an unhydrous PTSA is a dense mass-like clay. If you do dot see such changing - your PTSA is WET
