Abstract
This experiment is about the separation of pigments in capsicum annuum using column chromatography. In this experiment pigments in capsicum annuum or red pepper were separated. Four different eluates with different colors were produced from the column by adding eluents through the column.
Keywords: capsicum annuum, eluate, eluent, dichloromethane, hexane
Introduction
Red Pepper
Capsicum annuum or commonly known as red pepper is widely cultivated and found in tropical deciduous forests. Capsicum annuum(red pepper) is composed of six carotenoids: capsanthin, β-carotene, violaxanthin, cryptoxanthin, capsorubin, and crtyocapsin. The colored components of capsicum annuum are capsanthin and …show more content…

To prepare the column for chromatographic separation, a 5.75 inch Pasteur pipette is required; plugged with glass wool (or cotton) at the bottom. The column was filled up to ½ of the height of the pipette, and then loaded with a thin layer of sand. The sample was loaded on top of the sand and loaded again with a thin layer of sand. Eluents were loaded one after the other: hexane; dichloromethane with hexane; dichloromethane; and dichloromethane with methanol. Elution was the main process used in this experiment; there are two types of elution isocratic and gradient. Gradient elution was used in this experiment. Elution is the process of extracting one material from another with the use of a solvent. The eluent is the liquid solvent and the eluate is the product coming out from the chromatograph. Colored eluates were coming out of the column and were collected in separate test

Feras Kaid Chem 2415-43 TA: Rio Assessment 1 Conclusion In this lab, there were 4 different distillations that were performed each with the same end goal to separate the two different organic compounds, cyclohexane and toluene. We used the boiling points of the two compounds to separate them using the following 4 techniques: microscale simple distillation, miniscale simple distillation, miniscale fractional packed distillation, and miniscale fractional unpacked distillation. The three different miniscale distillations were used to predict the accuracy of the distillation by comparing them to one other. The most accurate of the three distillations is the miniscale fractional packed distillation because this type uses a Vigreux column instead

The serial 2-fold dilution were done with a volumetric pipette, its pump, and 10 mL volumetric flasks. Eight different solutions were produced, half of which came from Red 40 and the other half, from Blue 1. These different concentrated solutions were placed in a 10 mL volumetric flask, each labelled with either R for Red 40

In our experiment, we are trying to identify the types of dyes used in M&M’s versus skittles using chromatography. Chromatography is a group of techniques used to separate the various components in a complex mixture or solution. Chromatography was invented by a Russian botanist named Mikhail Tsvet. He used column chromatography to study plant pigments, but it became clearer that this technique can be used to separate many complex homogeneous mixtures. In every chromatography structure there is basically a mobile phase and a stationary phase.

A huge process in this lab was paper chromatography, which was used to isolate food dyes that are found in different drink mixes. The different chromatograms of FD&C dyes were compared to identify which dyes are present in each of the mixes.

Albino Gene Investigation

Next, the amount of seedlings in the tray that expressed a green or white phenotype were both counted. The group observed that there were eleven total seedlings; eight of those seedlings were green and the three remaining were white. The next step in the experiment was to add up the class totals of green to albino seedlings, as shown in table 1. After determining a group phenotype ratio of 8:3 and a class ratio of 42:10, the group questioned what defect the white plants could have that might make the seedlings appear albino instead of green. The students concluded that a lack of chloroplast could explain why some of the seedlings were albino. The lab partners also decided that for a recessive, albino phenotype to be expressed, GG, Gg, and gg had to be the genotypes of the seedlings.

INTRODUCTION A gas chromatograph (GC) can be utilized to analyze the contents of a sample quantitatively or in certain circumstances also qualitatively. In the case of preparative chromatography, a pure compound can be extracted from a mixture. The principle of gas chromatography can be explained as following: A micro syringe is used to inject a known volume of vaporous or liquid analyte into the head or entrance of a column whereby a stream of an inert gas acts a carrier (mobile phase). The column acts as a separator of individual or chemically similar components.
