Abstract Anthocyanin is a pigment that changes color in different pH level. In this property, anthocyanin becomes a pH indicator. Recent study shows that anthocyanin can be used as a microbiological stain. This study aims to determine the potential of methanolic extract of eggplant (Solanum melogena) peels as a dye pigment in differential stain. Eggplant contains anthocyanin in the peels. Eggplants were peeled and then weighed. Fifty (50) grams of peels were homogenized with acidified

    Then, solution 5 was aspirated, mixed with approximately 7 mL of air, waited 10 seconds, and dispensed. Cuvettes were filled with the extracted dyes for UV-Vis examination. The UV-Vis absorption spectrum was recorded, and if the absorbance was "off-scale," the solution was diluted to 10.0 mL, and the absorbance was measured…

    To complete this lab, I first mixed the solvent solution consisting of the proper ratio of water, salt, and isopropyl alcohol in a Pyrex measuring cup. I then prepared my chromatography papers for 2 trials by drawing, with a pencil, the appropriate lines and labels. Using a toothpick, I added the color to the paper, and then repeated until the color was strong. I repeated this step several more times for the M&Ms as the color solution was not as strong as the food dyes. After the dyes were dry, I rolled the paper and added it to the pie plate, which contained a small amount of the prepared solvent. I then waited for the solution to…

    Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to separate and identify pigments and other molecules within plant cells by a process called chromatography. We will also be measuring the rate of photosynthesis in isolated chloroplasts. Beta carotene, the most abundant carotene in plants, is carried along near the solvent front because it is very soluble in the solvent being used and because it forms no hydrogen bonds with cellulose. Xanthophyll is found further from the solvent font because it is less soluble in the solvent and has been slowed down by hydrogen bonding to the cellulose. Chlorophylls contain oxygen and nitrogen and are bound more tightly to the paper than the other pigments. Chlorophyll a is the primary photosynthetic pigment in plants. A molecule of chlorophyll a is located at the reaction center of the photo systems. The pigments collect light energy and send it to the reaction center. Carotenoids also protect the photosynthetic systems from damaging effects of ultraviolet light.…

    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.…

    Experiment: First all the materials were gathered. Pigments were separated by chromatography paper. Pigments were loaded in a line on the paper. The paper was folded in a cylinder, stapled, placed in a cylinder with solvent, and sealed with wax paper until the pigments separated. After the pigments separated the paper was taken out to dry and the separated pigments were cut out. Four groups joined together to perform the remainder of the investigation. All of the groups' pigments were separated and put into separate test tubes. Acetone was added. Using forceps, the strips of chromatography paper were "washed" of their pigment. Lastly the absorption spectrum, the absorption pattern for a particular pigment, was measured.…

    Four pigments are usually found in many leaves: carotene, xanthophyll, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. Carotene is very soluble in the solvent used in the lab. Its molecules don’t form hydrogen bonds with cellulose, an important polysaccharide in cell walls used for support. Carotene makes a faint yellow to yellow-orange band. Xanthophyll is less soluble than carotene in the solvent.…
