What kind of white powder? Just by feeling the grains it still could be sugar. A good way to test would be to drop a few grains onto a slug to see if it starts to melt or not.

You can tell if white powder is salt by observing its solubility in water. Salt readily dissolves in water, while other white powders may not dissolve or dissolve differently. You can also use a magnifying glass to examine the crystals of the powder, as salt typically forms small, cube-like crystals.
