CHROMATOGRAPHY OF PLANT PIGMENTS Marquez‚ Ma. Rica Paulene‚ Moises‚ Patrisha Kate‚ Policarpio‚ Jairus Paolo‚ Rolda‚ Zylene Joy Department of Biology‚ College of Science‚ University of the Philippines Baguio April 23‚ 2013 ABSTRACT The objective of this experiment was to apply the technique of paper chromatography as a method for separating individual plant pigments contained in plant tissue extracts containing pigment blends. The process of chromatography separates molecules because of the

What is chromatography- Chromatography is the separation of mixture by passing it in solution or suspension or as vapor. It’s a technique for separating mixtures into the components this needs to happen in order to do the 4 things analyze‚identify‚purify‚quantify. Many scientist use this to do the 4 steps. When analyzing its used to examine the mixture and to find out the relation with one another. In purifying you need to seperate or take away and put it by itself for further study. In identifying

In paper chromatography‚ some compounds in a mixture travel almost as far as the solvent does; some stay much closer to the base line. The distance travelled relative to the solvent is a constant for a particular compound as long as you keep everything else constant. Some compounds may travel farther than others because they may be composed of more components‚ thus traveling farther. For example‚ black is composed of every color of the rainbow‚ while yellow is composed of less colors. As a result

Chromatography of Commercial Analgesics Using the thin layer chromatography the major components of a commercial analgesic tablet will be indentified and purified. The active ingredients of the analgesic used were characterized by comparison with chromatograms of aspirin‚ acetaminophen‚ ibuprofen‚ mefanemic acid‚ and caffeine through the use of UV chromatography then the Rf value was calculated for each solvent. INTRODUCTION In this experiment‚ thin-layer chromatography (TLC) will be used

unknown compound. In this experiment‚ chromatography and titration were performed to identify the unknown amino acid. Within experimental error‚ the results were consistent with the reference literature cited in this report. Experimental Thin Layer Chromatography The amino acid standards used in this experiment were Alanine‚ Glycine‚ Serine‚ and Histidine. These standards and the unknown were separated by performing a method of chromatography. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed by using a mobile

Chromatography of Photosynthetic Pigments Abstract In this experiment a process of chromatography was used to separate chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and beta carotene. When these pigments were obtained they were used to measure the wavelengths by way of spectrophotometer of each and the total of all the pigments wavelength. Introduction Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use the sunlight to convert it from light energy into chemical energy. This equation shows us how

Size Exclusion Chromatography Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) is the separation technique based on the molecular size of the components. Size exclusion chromatography is a kind of method to separate different size of molecules that put in solution. It was first discovered by two scientists who named Grant Henry Lathe and Colin R Ruthven. Both of them received the John Scott Award for this fabulous invention. There are various applications for Size exclusion chromatography such as biochemical

Objectives: To use the process of chromatography to separate plant pigments. To compare the plant pigments found in spinach and red leaf lettuce leaves. Hypotheses: I believe the spinach leaf in the acetone will have a higher pigment of chlorophyll a and the red leaf lettuce will have a higher pigment of anthocyanin. I believe the spinach leaf in distilled water will have a higher pigment of chlorophyll a and the red leaf lettuce will have a higher pigment of anthocyanin. Discussion Questions:
