The Rf value obtained for both isolated caffeine and standard caffeine was 0.24. Keywords: solid-liquid extraction‚ multiple liquid-liquid extraction‚ sublimation‚ thin layer chromatography‚ percent caffeine Introduction Many organic compounds are obtained from natural sources through isolation.

Title: Candy Chromatography Background Information and Research: Paper Chromatogrpahy is a analytical method that is used for seperating and identifying mixtures of color. There are two stages‚ the stationary phase and the mobile phase. The first is for a solid and the second for a liquid or gas. -Reference http://www.chemguide.co.uk/analysis/chromatography/paper.html Purpose: To see how paper chromatography works. Materials: · Candy with a colored coating‚ like Skittles® or M&Ms® (4 different

experiment was to take spinach leaves and extract the chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments by using acetone as the solvent. The chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments were extracted by using column chromography and alumina was used as the solvent. Solvents of different polarities were used‚ starting with the least polar‚ to extract the certain components from the leaves. They were then analyzed by using thin- layer chromatography. Procedure: The first part of the experiment dealt with breaking down the

experiment we used paper chromatography to determine the amount of chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and beta-carotene in a tube of blended leaf extract. We recorded our findings on the table labeled table 1. Table 1 shows the transmittance at each wavelength on a table from 400 to 720. The information on Figure 1 came from the leaf extract on the paper chromatography that we used; with the help of acetone we saw the spectrum and the differences of the different pigments.

AP Biology Lab Four: Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to separate and identify pigments and other molecules within plant cells by a process called chromatography. We will also be measuring the rate of photosynthesis in isolated chloroplasts. Beta carotene‚ the most abundant carotene in plants‚ is carried along near the solvent front because it is very soluble in the solvent being used and because it forms no hydrogen bonds with cellulose. Xanthophyll is found

experiment was for each student to use column chromatography to separate plant pigments from spinach leaves. Some goals and objectives were to observe the effect of the increasing polar eluent fractions‚ to analyze the different fractions collected‚ and to correlate the structure of the components with polarity and behavior on a chromatographic column. Background The best method for separating mixtures in organic chemistry is chromatography. Chromatography is the separated of a mixture of two or more

Bouvier‚ Dogbo‚ and Camara studied whether it is possible to produce bixin using the microorganism E.coli. Bixin is a pigment that is only synthesized naturally by the plant Bixa Orellana (from tropical America)‚ and it is the second pigment used in the world‚ for example in cosmetic‚ food‚ and pharmaceutical industries. The authors presumed that engineering genes in sink organs of plants presenting high amounts of lycopene could be an alternative to the natural occurring Bixin‚ which would be advantageous

Mixtures & Solutions Lab Report By Nathan Mitchell 4/23/15 Background Information & Research 1. Paper Chromatography is a method used for the separation of colors which are also referred to as colored chemicals/substances or pigments. This method is used for experiments‚ to identify coloring agents and to separate out a compound into its various components. 2. 3 real-world uses for paper chromatography include forensic testing‚ performance enhancing drug testing‚ and Ebola immunization. 3.
