Ink Chromatography Lab Background Information Paper chromatography is an analytical method that is used for separating and identifying mixtures of substances into their smaller parts. Paper chromatography works because the ink used contains several dyes (pigments) that when place on porous paper are dissolved in a solvent by capillary action. When the pigments (solutes) are dissolved in the solvent (water & alcohol mixture) they move through the paper at different rates depending on their

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

corresponding anthocyanidins using paper chromatography‚ and spectrophotometric analysis procedures. Based on experimental data the blueberries contained the most amount of anthocyanins at 1.92 x 10-6 g‚ followed by blackberries at 1.19 x 10-6 g‚ finally followed by raspberries at 5.84 x 10-7 g. The paper chromatography data also supports the idea that blueberries contained the most anthocyanidins‚ since it contained the most streaks on the chromatography paper. The main conclusion that can be

Pepper Component Hot Enough To Trigger Suicide In Prostate Cancer. Let’s first understand what prostate is and who does it effect and target. Symptoms and possible known cures. The prostate is a gland found only in males. It is located in front of the rectum and below the urinary bladder. The size of the prostate varies with age. In younger men‚ it is about the size of a walnut‚ but it can be much larger in older men. The prostate’s job is to make some of the fluid that protects and nourishes

Significance: Chili pepper contains an impressive list of plant derived chemical compounds that are known to have disease preventing and health promoting properties. They are also good in other antioxidants like vitamin A‚ and flavonoids. These antioxidant substances help to protect the body from harmful effects of free radicals generated during stress and diseases conditions. Potassium‚ manganese‚ iron‚ and magnesium are good amounts of minerals that can be found in Chilies. Potassium is an important

Chromatography is the separation of compounds to allow us to see the different colours of that compound‚ for instance we may use chromatography in a school lab to see the real colour compounds of plants and grass‚ by using chemicals such as acetone we it will allow the object to break compounds and thus we can see the true colour of the grass. In today’s society there are many real world applications which use the chromatography technique in their line of work‚ an example of one of these applications

Th serrano pepper is a moderately hot pepper popular in Mexican cuisine. It is similar in shape to the jalapeno but is narrower and shorter. Along with their heat‚ serrano peppers provide a number of health benefits. Among those benefits are certain qualities like: They Are Low in Fat On average‚ serrano peppers contain a total of 0.4 g of fat in each 100 g serving. The low fat content makes them an excellent addition to your diet if you are trying to reduce your fat intake. Only 34 calories

exchange Chromatography Ion exchange chromatography is a process for separating proteins and other molecules in a solution based on differences in net charge. Ion Exchange Chromatography relies on charge-charge interactions between the proteins in your sample and the charges immobilized on the resin of your choice. Ion exchange chromatography can be subdivided into cation exchange chromatography‚ in which positively charged ions bind to a negatively charged resin; and anion exchange chromatography‚ in

Abstract In this experiment paper chromatography was used in order to identify two unknown amino acids using eight known amino ones. The two unknown ones were identified by comparing the distance they travelled up the chromatography paper and their Rf values to the corresponding values of the other eight known amino acids. The unknown amino acids identified were Glycine and Methionine. Introduction Proteins in cells are important in many ways. There are different types of proteins such as
