ANALYTICAL METHODS FOR FUNCTIONAL FOODS & NUTRACEUTICALS LABORATORY REPORT LAB 2: FAT & OIL FROM OIL-SEEDS: PART II THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY ANALYSIS (TLC) COORDINATORS: ASSOC. PROF. DR. JAMALUDDIN BIN MOHD DAUD ABDUL AZIM ADNAN 1016741 INTRODUCTION TLC chromatography or thin layer chromatography is a type of planar chromatography. TLC is routinely used by researcher in the field of phyto-chemicals‚ biochemistry etc. to identify the components in a compound

There can be both advantages and disadvantages in using a TLC sheet of a different length. For example‚ it becomes a disadvantage if the TLC sheet in this lab was 5 cm shorter. If this were the case‚ then (Sample A) would not have shown up or the second spot of unknown substance #3. Moreover‚ the unknown substance‚ which consists of (Sample A‚ would be incorrectly identified as a pure substance and/or as consisting of only (Sample D). Contrary to using a shorter TLC sheet‚ a longer TLC sheet might

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to use sodium borohydride to reduce benzil. However‚ stereochemistry allows for five possible products. If only one carbonyl group is reduced during the reaction a racemic mixture of benzoin will be the product that is produced. After the first reduction a chiral center forms causing the second reduction to occur from only one side of the ketone. Depending on which side the second reduction take place there are three possible products including: a racemic

Briefing Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is an extremely valuable analytical technique. It provides a rapid separation of compounds‚ and gives an indication of the number and nature of the components of a mixture. TLC can also be used to identify compounds by comparison with known samples‚ to check the purity of a compound‚ or to monitor the progress of a reaction‚ an extraction‚ or a purification procedure. This experiment will introduce you to the mechanics of TLC‚ and the chemical principles

Current Regulations for Standardization of Crude Drugs In India a great deal of bulk knowledge exists among ordinary people about the traditional use of herbal medicine. It is difficult to quantify the market size of the traditional Indian system. Since most practitioners formulate and dispense their own recipes. The present annual turnover of product manufactured by large companies is estimated at approximately US $ 300 million compared to a turnover of approximately US $ 2.5 billions for modern

using simple distillation. The purity of the product will be characterized using percent yield‚ thin layer chromatography‚ Beer’s Law‚ and UV-vis. Beer’s law is used because in this experiment we are comparing our extraction of B-Carotene to the Stock B-Carotene. Beer’s law shows that absorbence of light at a specific wavelength is proportional to the concentration of the colored species in the solution. Thin layerChromatography is used to separate mixtures of substances into their component‚ thus allowing

Results and discussion Isolation of beta carotene and chlorophylls by column chromatography Upon the loading of S1 (the extract of the plant leaves in hexane)‚ a yellow band appeared at the top part of the silica column immediately after the solvent level descended to just above the sand layer. This yellow band later developed to about 2 centimetres
