Chapter I A. Background of the Study
In this modern world of technology, the price of products becomes a challenge to every user because of the demands of the consumers. Today problems to supply the needs of computer ink are in demand throughout the world that uses computers to print documents. It is encourage to discover things that can be useful and answer these needs.
Many people are now using gadgets like computer to make their work easier. Physics makes significant contributions through advances in this technologies. Advances in the understanding of electromagnetism or nuclear physics led directly to the development of new products such as television, computers, and printers. Most of us know that printer is used to print books, newspapers or magazine. Ink is one of the important components of printer. Without ink, printer is useless.
In this observation, we have come up to conduct research study, on computer printer ink from sugar beets, which is most useful and environmental friendly than commercial ink.
Sugar beets’ Scientific name is Beta Vulgaris. Sugar beets are small herbaceous plants with broad dark-green leaves. Its underground taproot matures in 50-60 days of sowing and weighs about 100 to 150 g.
Sugar beet contains certain unique pigment in the root as well as in its top greens that have found be used as inks. The unique crimson-red color of red beet is due to betalain pigments, such as betanin and betacyanin.
It is most effective and we can save money because the cost of the sugar beet ink is much more less than the amount of commercial ink.

B. Objectives 1. To know the possible component of sugar beets that can become a source of colored ink. 2. To know how to extract the sugar beets into ink. 3. To know how to conduct a potential additive for

    Red Beets Betalains

    Betalains, incandescent tints made using an amino acid called tyrosine, gives beets their vibrant red hue. Plants modify tyrosine by adding other molecules to create other substances, such as morphine in the opium poppies. A tyrosine-making enzyme stays on longer in beets when it is supposed to turn off after a certain amount is made. This is likely the crucial change that beets needed to develop their signature red coloring. At first, there would have been no use for the extra tyrosine. However, at a later stage in their evolutionary history, red beets developed enzymes that made use of the extra tyrosine, creating its red pigment. Research suggests that betalains may help plants weather stress and perhaps attracted pollinators with their…

    Chromatography paper can be used to separate mixed chemicals, including mixed chloroplast pigments prepared from extract from fresh green grass or spinach. The mixture of pigments was prepared from organic greens, which were cleaned, cut into small pieces and bathed in acetone overnight (S. W. Jeffrey). The different pigments, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and beta carotene have different polarities, due to which the separation of these pigments is possible with chromatography paper.…

    The reason for conducting the research is to know how the colors of our favorite candy-coated sugary rewards came to be and that method of knowing is what we call “Candy Crhomatography”. Chromatography by definition according to Webster’s dictionary means “ a method for separating the constituents of a solution (gas or liquid) by exploiting the different bonding properties of different molecules”. In this case, the molecules being broken down are the different molecules that make up a certain color. Colors are basically made up of the primary (red, blue, yellow) and when you mix these colors together is when you get to create new colors on and on and on. That is exactly the goal of the experiment – to distinguish the particular mixture of dyes in the process of chromatography.…

    Acetone Hexane Lab Report

    • 635 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Pigments were first extracted from tomato paste by a 50/50 mixture of acetone/hexanes; these miscible molecules act together as one organic solvent. Pigments choose the organic layer over the tomato paste with water, which allowed for their extraction. K2CO3 is an ionic base that was added to deprotonate the citric acid. The ionic product of the reaction in figure 3 now prefers the aqueous layer, which serves to wash the pigments of the acidic impurity. Saturated NaCl pulls any water into the aqueous layer. MgSO4 was used as a drying agent to evaporate off the 50/50 acetone/hexane organic solvent. A rotovap was then used to concentrate the solution to dryness.…

    The process of printing conductive ink is used to produce active and passive components such as transistors, resistors, capacitors, diodes, and even complete circuits such as RFID tags, keypads, sensors, and electrodes, as well as backplanes of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other electroluminescent displays. End-use applications for printed electronics include medical devices, photovoltaics, smart packaging, exible displays, RFID labels, energy storage, and active clothing. In general, printed electronic circuits have lower performance characteristics and lifetimes than etched circuits, but they also have a signi cantly lower cost. However, they still remain…

    The plasma membrane is made up of protein and lipid molecules. These two main components are affected by various chemicals. In this investigation, we study the degree of denaturation of the membrane of beetroot by different substances. Beetroot cells contain a water-soluble pigment, , in their vacuole which upon denaturation of membranes is released into the surrounding medium. When the beetroot discs are put into the mouth rinse and anthocyanin leaks out, the chemicals in mouth rinse are lipid-soluble molecules. The higher the concentration of the solvent, the more permeable the membrane will be. More anthocyanin from the beetroot discs will leak out.…
