------------------------------------------------- Isolation of Caffeine from Coffee Date of laboratory work: 10/9/2012 5:00-7:45 Date of report written: 10/15/2012 Introduction: The purpose is to isolate caffeine from coffee by using the organic solvent dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) that is also referred to as direct contact. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is used to remove the tannins from the coffee. Afterwards an extraction is used to separate the organic layer (bottom) from the aqueous layer (upper). By

Methodology By using aseptic‚ a little cultured bacteria was inoculated on the TSA agar. A quadric streak was making. Inoculation loop was heated and keep it cold for a while before the next quadratic streak. Six agar plates were observed for 24 hour at temperature of 30ºC. Choose one from the dense colony and make a sub-culture on the new agar plate. The step was repeated to get a single colony‚ which is pure colony. a) Sequestration of bacteria from fish organs Methodology Dissecting set

Isolation of Casein from Milk In this experiment‚ casein was isolated from milk by means of isoelectric precipitation. A percent yield of % was obtained by the group. Introduction Milk is an opaque white or bluish-white liquid secreted by the mammary glands of female mammals‚ serving for the nourishment of their young. This liquid‚ as secreted by cows‚ goats or certain other animals are used by humans as food and as a source of dairy products such as cheese and butter. Milk composition differs

“Fighting Invisible Killers” Scholastic Scope: The Language Arts Magazine January 2014 Edition‚ pages 5-9 Bacteria surround us every day. These little “bugs” are invisible to the eye and most do not harm us. Many are necessary for us to survive‚ like the bacteria in our stomachs and intestines that help us to digest food. But some bacteria are very dangerous to us. Addie Rereich became very sick in May 2011‚ when she was 11 years old. What started as something that her doctors and mother

Isolation of Trimyristin from Nutmeg by Extraction Introduction: Extraction is the physical process by which a compound or mixture of compounds is transferred from one phase into another. We will be looking specifically at an organic solvent extraction which is a type of solid-liquid extraction. This type of extraction utilizes an organic solvent that has a high affinity for the compound of interest. Most reactions produce a crude mixture of undesired reagent‚ byproducts‚ as well as the

Bacteria are the most numerous type of microorganism found in the rhizosphere of the soil. They produce secondary metabolites which are capable of producing antibiotic which eventually inhibit or kill bacteria. The rhizosphere region of the soil is a highly favorable habitat for the proliferation‚ activity and metabolism of numerous microorganisms. The magnitude of this area depends on the plant and the size of the roots that the plant possesses. Bacteria are among the microorganisms living in the
