Why does colour leak out of cooked beetroot? Introduction When cooking a beetroot you are recommended not to remove the outer skin and not to cut off the entire stalk if you do not want the red dye in the cooking water. Beetroot contains a red pigment called betalain‚ which is in the cell vacuole. Normally the betalain stays inside the cell‚ however when the cell is exposed to extreme temperatures they leak out. The reason why they leak out is because of the cell membrane structure. When the

method is based on the proportional binding of the dye Coomassie to proteins. If there is a higher protein content‚ the more Coomassie binds and it produces a significant change in colour of the mixture. The Bradford protein assay contains the dye Coomassie Blue G-250 which is red brown colour in acidic solution. When the protein binds to the dye‚ the pKa of the dye shifts and causes the dye to turn blue. The maximum absorbance spectrum of the dye is at 595nm. According to Beer-Lambert Law‚ a standard

This is copied off of howstuffworks.com i just needed something to get into an account.. sorry. In 2000‚ one of the biggest news stories was the rise of Napster and similar file-sharing programs.

*ABSTRACT: There are many kinds of ink. In our experiment we will use Ti plant as the main component of our ink. Having two different set-ups will provide the chance to compare the colors and consistencies. Cornstarch is an efficient additive to have the right consistency of the product. Also vinegar is also efficient‚ though there is no obvious change in color‚ it was seen that it gave the ink a consistent color whether wet or dry. We also add some herbs which helps our product to look more darker

these two seeds has been carried out for a long time in the Caribbean. Senior makes reference to this through her historical link to the Arawaks who used the seeds to make dyes to put on their bodies.

1. How does Sunblock work? Sunscreen contains organic and and inorganic chemicals. The sun shines down UV Rays which are harmful to our skin. The organic chemicals in sunscreen absorb the UV Rays through their chemical bonds. As the bonds absorb UV radiation‚ the parts of the sunscreen slowly break down and release heat. The higher SPF a sunscreen is‚ the more it protects against the UV Rays the sun shines down. 2. How does detergent work? Detergents are made up of things called surfactants
