ABSTRACT
Synthetic food colors are widely used in different types of food stuffs in India as well as in the world. Changing lifestyles across the globe have transformed food habit patterns. The instant and processed foods (junk foods) are mainly used in a variety of attractive “Synthetic food colors” by its manufacturers. In the present study an attempt has been aimed to study the Extraction, Identification of Synthetic food colors adulteration by Paper chromatography and UV-Visible spectrophotometer in different sweets and jams. In the Institute of Forensic Science and Criminology (IFSC), Bundelkhand University, Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh in 2011.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To investigate the use of micellar paper chromatography on the isolation and identification of flavonoids and their soluble derivatives.METHOD:Quercetin,Genistein and their sulphate derivatives were separated and identified by SDS solution above critical micelle concentration (CMC) on paper chromatography.The concentration of SDS,ratio of organic modifier and their concentration,fluorescence were investigated.RESULTS:The best concentration of SDS micelle was 0.01～0.02mol*L-1,and the spot effects of micellar chromatography could be improved by adding 2%～4% isopropanol (or n-amyl alcohol)into the mobile phase.CONCLUSION:The simple,rapid,accurate and qualitative method could be used to analyze and isolate flavonoids and their soluble derivatives.
ABSTRACT
Object To investigate the reason of the low germination and sprout rates by studying on inhibitory activities of the crude extracts of the seed of the dried root of Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk (DRSD) on Brassica, wheat and the seed of DRSD. Methods The ether extract and residue of the crude extract were prepared and treated by paper chromatography. The inhibitory activities of different fractions with different Rf value were determined. Effect of steeping the seed in warm water at 41 ℃ and 45 ℃ for different periods of time was also studied, respectively. Results There are intrinsic inhibitor in the seed of DRSD with strong activity. The portion of its ether extract with Rf 0.6 showed the strongest inhibitory activity for the germination of Brassica seed. The crude extract of the seed of DRSD also has the stronger inhibitory activity to the germination and growth of tender root of S. divaricata and has the same effect on aerial part of wheat sprouts. Steeping with warm water and solvent can remove most of the intrinsic inhibitor. Conclusion Intrinsic inhibitor in the seed of DRSD is the main factor that results in the low germination and sprouting slowly after seeding.
ABSTRACT
Object An attempt to seek after an intrinsic inhibitor present in the seed of Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge.. Methods Crude ethereal extract of the seed was prepared and treated on paper chromatography. Inhibitory effects of different fractions with different Rf value were tested on Brassica chinensis L. and wheat germination. Effect of steeping the seed in warm water at 41 ℃ or 45 ℃ for different periods of time was also studied.Results Seed of A. membranaceus does contain strong intrinsic inhibitor. The portion of its ethereal extract with Rf 0.9 showed the most strong inhibition for the germination of Brassica, and the fraction with Rf 1.0 can inhibit the growth of the tender Brassica root, steeping with warm water can remove most of the intrinsic inhibitor, which also inhibits the growth of both aerial and underground parts of wheat sprouts, but without effect on its seed germination. It also showed strong inhibition of seed germination and growth of tender root of A. membranaceus. Conclusion Besides the low water permeability of the seed peel, the intrinsic inhibitor present in A. membranaceus is another essential factor that retard its germination.
ABSTRACT
In order to obtain an efficient screening procedure for identification of succinate producing anaerobic strains,a semi-quantitative paper chromatography method was developed. Lactic acid and acetic acid were identified as the main byproducts in the process of succinate production by the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).Succinic acid was completely separated from the byproducts of lactic acid and acetic acid in the same broth developed by paper chromatography.The content of succinic acid was calculated by a semi-quantitative method.The results showed that paper chromatography was a simple and cost effective method that could be utilized to screen anaerobic strains producing succinic acid.
ABSTRACT
The comparative study on the chemical components of Cuscuta japonica and Cuscuta chinensis Lam have been carried out with TLC, paper chromatography and HPLC. As a result, both possessed similar chemical components and same polysaccharide compositions. But the polysaccharide recovery of Cuscuta japonica is three times as high as that of Cuscuta chinensis Lam. Both of them have 16 kinds, of amino acids. The content of 9 kinds of amino acids of Cuscuta japonica was higher than that of Cuscuta chinensis. These findings suggested that the developement and utilization of resources of Cuscuta japonica be available.
ABSTRACT
A simple and rapid method was established for the determination of the content of L-malic acid in fermentation liquor. This procedure includes six steps: (1) Use a microi- njector to inject the fermentation liquor quantitively on the filter paper, then use the chromatography solution (n-butanol: formic acid: water=8:1.5:1) for paper chromatography. (2) Atomize the display reagent (10ml 0.02?10~(-2) bromocresol green: 0.2ml 10?10~(-2) sodium hydroxide) on the chromatography paper. (3) Scissor off L-malic acid spots from the paper and put in into 5 ml distilled water for three hours. (4) In 1ml eluent, add 6 ml 96?10~(-2) sulphuric acid and 0.1ml 1.0?10~(-2) ?-naphthol.(5) Heat the reaction system in 100℃ water for sixty minutes. (6) After cooling determine the optical density at the wavelength 476 am in the colorimeter.
