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 natural food color

METHANOLIC FRUIT EXTRACT OF
Basella rubra
Experimental
t-test
Basella rubra found to be an effective stain for normal blood cells. The use of methyl alcohol as extracting agent produces a better dye yield, and the correct ratio of blood to thedye was also identified. The dye was able to stain blood cells particularly red cells and even enhance withthe use of contrast reagents making white cells and platelets more visible.
The study is limited to the ability of Basella rubra to effectively stain normal blood stain

Basella rubra as a biological stain
Experimental

The alugbati extract turned out to be favorable stain for plant nuclei and organelles especially for Hydrilla verticillata and as substitute for crystal violet or safranin in Gram staining. The extract stained the bacteria red-orange and the plant nuclei, and the cytoplasm red and light pink, respectively.
The study is limited to the ability of Basella rubra (alugbati) to be used as a biological stain

    Endospore Test Lab Report

    The primary dye malachite green is a weakly binding dye to the spore wall and cell wall. The dye will be locked in the spore wall, which has peptidoglycan deeper in the walls. The keratin forming the outer portion of the endospore wall resists dye. The heating of the bacteria will make the spore wall more permeable to the malachite green, and it then attaches to the peptidoglycan. Thus, we can detect the bacteria that have the endospore based on this test. On a clean glass slide a drop of distilled water will be added to the slide. A smear will be prepared on this droplet by using fresh culture of bacteria and then will be air dried and heat fixed. The smear will be flooded with malachite green (0.5% aqueous solution). The slide will be heated so that malachite green will be steamed for 5 min but will not allow evaporating. More malachite will be added by heating the slide over again. Then the slide will be cooled and will be washed under running water. Then, the smear will be flooded with counter stain safranine for 30 second. Then the slide will be washed with distilled water to remove extra stain. The slide will be examined under microscope spores will appear green inside the bacteria while absence of green colour will show non-endospore forming bacteria (Ali et al.,…

    Background: A leaf is filled with many pigments. The pigments are usually masked by the prevalence of the green chlorophyll. Anothocyanin(red or purple), carotene(orange), and xanthrophyll(yellow) are found in different proportions in different leaves. Leaf pigments can be separated by using paper chromatography. Paper chromatography is a technique that extracts pigments into a paper filter called chromatogram.…

    Lab day 2; we collected our BHIA medium and began by identifying the morphology and cell-to cell arrangements of the colonies. Two different colonies were observed, the first colony was yellow in color and larger in size and the white colored colony was slightly smaller in size. As instructed, each colony was prepared for gram staining, one slide for the large yellow colony and one for the smaller white colony. After properly gram staining the slides as directed in chapter six of the lab manual, the smears were examined under…

    A wet mount is a preparation process where a live specimen in culture fluid is placed on a slide and the organism is free to move about. In the wet mount slides provided via LabPaq software with cheek, dental plaque, and yeast specimens were observed. The wet mount preparations were difficult to observe because of poor contrast, however, a common occurrence in the specimens were cells large in size and translucent in color. The slides provided with direct staining using crystal violet gave the most imagining of morphology. The directly stained cells gave off a purplish hue to the cells, making them easier to visualize and classify. The indirect specimens stained with congo red provided translucent cells while others were a brownish red, however, the cellular characteristics were easily distinguishable. There was no experiment provided in which indirect staining using both congo red and crystal violet was undertaken. It may be hypothesized therefore that in this case one may observe both red and purple stains of cells depending upon the negative or positive component of the cell.…

    In this lab experiment our group was given four different types of synthetic blood samples, along with three types of synthetic anti- A, B, and Rh, to help identify the ABO-Rh blood types. Its purpose of this experiment is to learn about the form and functions of the bloods components, as well as to examine and identify different blood types, as many already do so and apply it to real life events, whether its through forensics, crime scene investigations or at hospitals to help identify ones’ blood type.…

    Background Information: Acids and bases have properties of modifying the color of certain substances. The juice of the red cabbage is a blue-violet color and when it comes in contact with acidic substances it becomes red and when it comes in contact with basic substances it becomes green and sometimes yellow when it is very strong. A pH indicator is a halochromic chemical compound that is added in small amounts to a solution so that the pH of the solution can be determined visually. The pH indicator is a chemical detector for hydronium ions or hydrogen ions. The color of the solution to change depending on the pH. Red cabbage juice contains a natural pH indicator that changes colors according to the acidity of the solution. Red cabbage contains a pigmented molecule called flavin. Very acidic solutions will turn anthocyanin a red color. Neutral solutions result in a purple color. Basic solutions should appear greenish. Acids are substances which when added to water produces hydrogen ions and bases are substances which when added to water produces hydroxide ions.…

    Lab Report On Blood Typing

    • 5 Pages

    The purpose of this experiment was to identify four synthetic blood samples through a process called blood typing. According to Fredrick H. Martin, PhD., et.al, blood typing is a test that determines a person’s blood type by checking the blood for the presence or absence of specific glycoprotein called antigens found on the surface of the red blood cells. The two clinically relevant antigens are the A antigen and B antigen. The blood type is named based upon which antigen is present on the surface of its red blood cells. There are four blood types. Blood type A has A antigens; blood type B has B antigens; blood type AB has both A and B antigens and blood type O has neither A nor B antigens on the surface of the red blood cells. An additional…

    Coal-tar colours are employed a great deal, pickles and canned vegetables are sometimes coloured green with copper salts; butter is made more yellow by anatta; turmeric is used in mustard and some cereal preparations. Apples are the basis for many jellies, which are coloured so as to simulate finer ones. In confectionery, dangerous colours, such as chrome yellow, prussian blue, copper and arsenic compounds are employed. Yellow and orange-coloured sweets are to be suspected. Artificial flavouring compounds are employed in the concoction of fruit syrups, especially those used for soda water. Milk is adulterated with water, and indirectly by removing the cream. The addition of water may introduce disease germs. Cream is adulterated with gelatin, and formaldehyde is employed as a preservative for it. Butter is adulterated…
