Background: Paper chromatography is one method for testing the purity of compounds and identifying substances. Paper chromatography is a useful technique because it is relatively quick and requires small quantities of material. Safety: Warnings: * Rubbing alcohol (or isopropyl alcohol) is flammable‚ so be sure to keep it away from high heat or heat sources. * Keep pigments and solutions away from your eyes‚ wash your hands carefully after coming in contact with any solutions or pigments‚ and clean

Lab 5 Column Chromatography: Isolation of Lycopene from Tomato Paste Reading: Zubrick‚ pages 79-82‚ 127-130‚ 138-139‚ 141-143‚ and 235-240 Pre-lab: look up the structure of lycopene. Introduction: Lycopene is the red pigment in ripe tomatoes and‚ as an antioxidant‚ helps to fight certain cancers. In this lab you will isolate lycopene from tomato paste. To do this you will first extract carotenoid pigments from the paste and then use column chromatography to isolate the lycopene from

Photosynthesis Homework April 8‚ 2013 Reviewing Your Knowledge 2. A pigment solution contains compound A with 4 polar groups and compound B with 2 polar groups. You plan to separate these compounds using paper chromatography with a non-polar solvent. Predict the location of the two bands relative to the solvent front. Explain your answer. Since compound A is probably more polar than compound B‚ compound B will move further in the chromatography. Since the solvent is non-polar‚ the less polar compound will

Milton Cano Chauca Anthocyanin in spinach vine (Basella rubra) fruits Experimental t-test In conclusion‚ the pigment extracted from the fruits of spinach vine (B. rubra) was more stable at pH 5 and pH 6. Increases in temperature and the presence of light affected the stability of this pigment. Results demonstrate that this pigment exhibits good stability and could be applied to foods as a natural food color. The study is limited to the stability of anthocyanin in spinach vine (Basella rubra) fruits as

so that it is safe for drinking. Mixtures contain two or more substances that are not in a fixed ratio‚ and while some mixtures‚ such as concrete‚ are useful‚ others including salt water‚ are not as useful to us. Filtration‚ distillation‚ paper chromatography‚ and centrifugation are just a few methods used for separating mixtures. There are many methods of separating mixtures. A more commonly known and used method is filtration. Filtration separates mixtures using filter paper‚

Plotting the Absorption Spectrum of Lettuce Leaf Extract November 14‚ 2012 Aim: To see how chlorophyll pigments absorb electromagnetic radiation at different wavelengths‚ with the use of a spectrophotometer to vary the wavelength of incident light‚ and then plot an absorption spectrum. Hypothesis: The chlorophyll pigments of the spinach leaf’s chlorophyll extract will absorb more electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths which correspond to the wavelengths of colors other than green‚ as chlorophyll

and various amount of H2O2 and H2O. Solutions were left to react for 3 days‚ and analyzed by size exclusion chromatography and UV-Vis absorbances were taken. In the large scale experiments‚ approximately 100 mg of each compound was mixed with fixed amounts of Fe2+ and H20 and varying h2O2 amounts. They sat until the compound reacted away and were analyzed via size exclusion chromatography. They were then purified by dialysis in water for 3 days‚ changing water several times throughout.

Therefore‚ green light will not cause any photochemical reaction to occur. In our experiment‚ we set up four color screens to allow only a certain wavelength of light into our tubes of spinach disks and sodium bicarbonate solution. The idea is that a photochemical reaction will occur within the spinach discs and because of the release of gasses they will begin to float (The Spectrum). Through this process we are able to see the effectiveness of the different wavelength after certain time intervals
