ISOLATION OF TRIMYRISTIN FROM NUTMEG ABSTRACT The purpose if the experiment was to extract the Trimyristan from ground nutmeg using extraction‚ distillation and recrystallization procedures. This experiment involves extraction and separation techniques that yield a purified product. The product was extracted and a distillation process was used to remove any remaining solvent. The recrystallization of the sample in turn produced a pure sample‚ which was proven using the known melting

Isolation and Purification of Lyngbya majuscula on Nutrient-enriched Agar Plates A Special Problem Isolation and Purification of Lyngbya majuscula on Nutrient-enriched Agar Plates ABSTRACT Lyngbya majuscula samples were obtained from the Phycology Laboratory stock culture of the UPV Institute of Aquaculture. Five (5) mm fragments of these were inoculated into agar plates that used 1% agar concentration enriched with varying concentrations (1.0%‚ 1.5%‚ and 2.0%) of Hughes‚ et

Isolation of Eugenol from Cloves Abstract The experiment conducted‚ isolation of eugenol from cloves‚ is the extraction of the essential oil. To perform this experiment cloves and water were mixed together and heated by a heating mantle in a round-bottom flask. A direct stem distillation took place‚ and the oil product was out aside for a week. After one week‚ the isolation of the eugenol actually takes place. Next the thin-layer chromatographic analysis takes place‚ but the experiment

Introduction Water is necessary to life but it can be unhealthy too. In general‚ the water quality is poor in developing countries like Kenya. Water is a vector of diseases like yellow fever‚ diarrhea… Water purification is very important in these countries but people don’t have a lot of time to spare‚ they work or they are in the field and in general women must spend a significant amount of time walking to collect water. So we need to find a quick‚ easy‚ and economic solution that is as simple

“Solar Treated Purification” Intorduction: A. Background of the study: In our world today‚ purified water is the one that most of the people drink everyday especially those who live in cities. Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals‚ biological contaminants‚ suspended solids and gases from contaminated water. The goal is to produce water fit for a specific purpose. Most water is purified for human consumption (drinking water)‚ but water purification may also be designed

Purification of solids Aim: To separate a mixture of carboxylic acid and a neutral substance by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide and purifying the carboxylic acid‚ measuring the melting points of the neutral and the acid components. METHOD: A mixture of( 5g) Carboxylic acid and neutral compound were separated by adding 2 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide (25cm3) to the mixture‚ which separated the water soluble sodium from the water insoluble neutral component‚ by filtration. The solid at the

Protein purification From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search Protein purification is a series of processes intended to isolate a single type of protein from a complex mixture. Protein purification is vital for the characterization of the function‚ structure and interactions of the protein of interest. The starting material is usually a biological tissue or a microbial culture. The various steps in the purification process may free the protein from a matrix that confines

Isolation of Casein from Milk In this experiment‚ casein was isolated from milk by means of isoelectric precipitation. A percent yield of % was obtained by the group. Introduction Milk is an opaque white or bluish-white liquid secreted by the mammary glands of female mammals‚ serving for the nourishment of their young. This liquid‚ as secreted by cows‚ goats or certain other animals are used by humans as food and as a source of dairy products such as cheese and butter. Milk composition differs

Isolation of Trimyristin from Nutmeg by Extraction Introduction: Extraction is the physical process by which a compound or mixture of compounds is transferred from one phase into another. We will be looking specifically at an organic solvent extraction which is a type of solid-liquid extraction. This type of extraction utilizes an organic solvent that has a high affinity for the compound of interest. Most reactions produce a crude mixture of undesired reagent‚ byproducts‚ as well as the
