on research and development have also become broader each day. Controversies have also emerged and one of the most discussed topics has been directed towards synthetic versus natural colorants. Food pigments are classified based on its origin or source; natural or synthetic. Synthetic food pigments are those substances that are needed to be tested for toxicity and allergenicity before

chromatography is a useful technique for separating and identifying pigments and other molecules from cell extracts that contain a complex mixture of molecules. The solvent moves up the paper by capillary action‚ which occurs as a result of the attraction of solvent molecules to the paper and the attraction of solvent molecules to one another. As the solvent moves up the paper‚ it carries along any substances dissolved in it. The pigments are carried along at different rates because they are not equally

the area of natural pigments is divided based on their interest to five main potential topics: 1. The first topic is dealing with the chemical composition and the factors influencing that composition. 2. Second topic is concerned with increasing the yield of the pigment by searching the existing plant and microbial sources in addition to alternative microbial and plant sources. 3. The third topic is dealing with improving the stability and bioavailability of the natural pigments. So far‚ limited natural

The rate of photosynthesis may vary with changes that occur in environmental temperature‚ wavelength of light‚ and light intensity. Using a photosynthetic organism of your choice‚ choose only ONE of the three variables (temperature‚ wavelength of light‚ or light intensity) and for this variable. • Design a scientific experiment to determine the effect of the variable on the rate of photosynthesis for the organism • Explain how you would measure the rate of photosynthesis in your experiment

A pigment is a natural coloring matter that usually comes from a plant or animal. Today‚ there are synthetic pigments with the advancement of technology‚ but during the Italian Renaissance they did not have these luxuries. They had to obtain their pigment naturally. There were different classifications of pigment‚ each producing a different desired color. The material that contained the desired pigment had to be grinded very finely‚ and then the pigment would need to be added to a base to create

RESPIRATORY PIGMENTS Colored‚ metal-containing proteins that combine reversibly with oxygen‚ found in the body fluids or tissues of multi-cellular invertebrate animals and microorganisms. The role of these pigments is primarily to aid in the transport of molecular oxygen. Thus they are distinguished from respiratory enzymes‚ which are concerned with the metabolic consumption of oxygen. Four distinctly colored groups of respiratory pigments exist among invertebrates: hemoglobins (purple‚ become orange-red

Effects of Wavelength and Light Intensity on Photosynthetic Activity ABSTRACT The photosynthetic process of eukaryotes revolves around chlorophyll‚ the substance that give plants their green color. Plants convert light energy into chemical energy by means of photosynthesis. This experiment tests the reaction rates of a chloroplast suspension against variables of wavelengths and light intensity. Both a control and an experimental cuvette were exposed to a range of 450 to 750nm of light and varying

Introduction: Hypothesis: My hypothesis for this experiment‚ the study of the effects of different wavelengths on leaf pigments‚ if chlorophyll a absorbs blue-violet light‚ chlorophyll b absorbs blue light‚ carotene absorbs blue-green light‚ and xanthophyll absorbs blue light‚ then wavelengths of greatest absorption will be 400‚ 450‚ 500‚ and 450 respectively. Independent Variable: Wavelengths Dependent Variable: optimum wavelengths of light for absorption Standard Variable: method of

AN INVESTIGATION OF PHOTOSYNTHETIC ELECTRON TRANSPORT OF CHLOROPLASTS FROM _SILVERBEET LEAVES_ Introduction Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar‚ which cellular respiration converts into ATP‚ the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy is associated with the actions of the green pigment‚ chlorophyll. Light Dependent Reactions are the initial stage of photosynthesis‚ in which solar
