The Identification of Chlorophyll and Its Derivatives in the Pigment Mixtures: Hplc-chromatography, Visible and Mass Spectroscopy Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work represents an application of the Visible Spectrometry, High Pressure Liquid Cromatography and Electronspray Ionisation-Mass Spectrometry analysis for the identification of chlorophyll and its derivatives, pheophytin and chlorophyllide, in their purified mixtures (the chlorophyll, pheophytin and chlorophyllide fraction, respectively). The chlorophyll, pheophytin and chlorophyllide fractions were obtained by using a pigment extraction from the plant material (Spinacia Oleracea L), coupled with the column chromatography. The main components in the chlorophyll, pheophytin and chlorophyllide fractions were identified as chlorophyll a & b, pheophytin a & b and chlorophyllide a, respectively. Spectrophotometrically determined concentration ratios of the main identified pigments, chlorophyll a/b (in the chlorophyll fraction), pheophytin a/b (in the pheophytin fraction) and chlorophyllide a/b (in the chlorophyllide fraction) were: 4.95/1, 1.05/1 and 6.89/1, respectively.

Extraction, Identification and Thermal Stability of Anthocyanins from Eggplant Peel as a Natural Colorant
In the present study, various mixtures of aqueous ethanol and acetone solutions were utilized to extract anthocyanins from eggplant peel by a discontinuous process to obtain a natural red-purple colorant. First, the most appropriate combination for extraction solvent was selected as ethanol 70 wt in water acidified with acetic acid 3 wt, which was determined by analysis of extraction yields and...
متن کاملIsolation and molecular identification of carotenoid-producing bacteria
The production of pigments from bacteria is significant due to the low cost, high yield and ease of extract compared with other sources. Carotenoids are one of the most important pigments with antioxidant properties which are the precursor of vitamin A synthesis and have antibody overproduction ability, anti-tumor activity and inhibitory effect on the cardiovascular disease. The present study a...
متن کاملDetermination of algal biomass with HPLC pigment analysis from lakes of different trophic state in comparison to microscopically measured biomass
A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method is presented with which a direct determination of the phytoplankton biomass is possible. By correlating over 100 samples investigated with HPLC as well as microscopically, it has been shown that phytoplankton biomass is described very accurately by determining the concentration of accessory pigments. In contrast to earlier studies, we made ...
متن کاملChlorophyll and carotenoid analysis of tea by high- performance liquid chromatography and its application for quality control
The. separation and identification of pigments, chlorophylls and carotenoids, of several teas by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were described. HPLC was carried out using a Symmetry Cs column with a photodiode array detection. Pigments were eluted with a binary gradient of aqueous pyridine solution at a flow rate of 1.0 ml per min at 25°C. HPLC analyses archived the separation of...

The pigment composition of the haptophyte Chrysochromulina polylepis (Strain CCMP 286) was analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using pyridine-containing mobile phases and polymeric C18, or monomeric C8 columns. The polar chlorophyll (chl) c pigment composition included chl c2 and chl c3 as major fractions, and divinyl protochlorophyllide a (DV pchlide or MgDVP) as a minor ...
