Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Jaybee Balilea‚ Sharmaine Baysic‚ and Maria Anjelette Patricia Belen 3BIO7‚ Department of Biology‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Extraction is a technique for isolating and purifying organic substances. In this technique‚ a solution is combined thoroughly with a second solvent that is immiscible with the first solvent. The solute is extracted from one solvent into the other because it is more soluble in the second solvent

TITANIUM EXTRACTION ASSIGNMENT 1 1.TiO2+Cl2-----------------TiCl4+O2 2.Why is an atmosphere of argon used for this reaction ? The titanium (iv) chloride is added to a reactor in which very pure sodium has been heated to about 5500c -everything being under an innert argon atmosphere.During this reaction the temperature increases to about 10000 c . The reaction is carried out in an argon atmosphere to prevent magnessium and sodium from reacting with oxygen in the air. 3.Another gas used instead of

The investigation on the average mass of DNA with the mass of banana‚ strawberry and kiwi. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to investigate the comparison between the amount of DNA per gram of fruit that can be extracted from a banana‚ strawberry and kiwi and to determine which one has more DNA. Hypothesis: The banana genome contains 837 MBPs and the strawberry genome contains 206 MBPs and the kiwi genome contains 128 MBPs. This states that there are more base pairs in a banana genome

Extraction of Eugenol from Cloves 02/01/2014 CHM2210L University of North Florida Abstract Eugenol is found in the essential oil of cloves and has distinct properties that make it an important product to both food and drug industries. (Bhimrao‚ et. al‚ 2004). To utilize many of eugenol’s characteristic properties‚ it is necessary to isolate this organic chemical from the other components of cloves. In this experiment‚ eugenol was isolated from a sample of cloves using a series of techniques

Berry DNA Extraction Lab I. Problem Statement: Successfully extracting the DNA from strawberries. II. Background info: DNA is the genetic information in organisms that codes for proteins‚ and controls the cells function. The DNA is a double helix molecule that is formed by various nucleotides which include Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Guanine‚ and Cytosine with sugar phosphate. Different organisms can have larger or smaller genes. DNA is also what makes up chromosomes during cell replication. Strawberries

DNA Cloning PCB3063L Section DNA cloning refers to the process of making multiple copies of a DNA fragment. For the past weeks we have conducted a set of experiments that allow us to clone a specific gene in drosophila. First we started by the process of DNA extraction‚ which allowed us to isolate the genomic DNA from D. Melanogaster. This process requires the use of lysis in other to extract the DNA and RNA. After extracting the DNA‚ we it is important to use

Legal Studies Essay DNA Profiling Breakthroughs in DNA testing have brought success to what would have otherwise been unsolved cases. DNA profiling is a technique used by many scientists and police to match DNA samples found at the scene of a crime with their respective counterparts generally found on their database. DNA profiling has helped match blood and semen samples found at the scene of a crime to the perpetrator‚ managing to sometimes solve cold cases that have been closed for decades

Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to perform a liquid-liquid extraction method to extract the caffeine from the tea bags that were provided‚ and then recrystallize the caffeine. The solvents used in the experiment were an aqueous sodium carbonate and dichloromethane (DCM). Anhydrous calcium chloride pellets were used to dry the solution and emulsion layer and the DCM was then decanted. After washing the anhydrous calcium chloride pellets with more DCM‚ the solvent was evaporated‚ leaving
