aims: the synthetic colors are preferred by the food industry because of the variety of shades, intensity, uniformity, excellent solubility and stability. they are used in a variety of food products such as dairy products, beverages, baked products, confections and pet foods. food colors may have toxic effects on the human body. this study aimed to examine the amount of synthetic colors in some...

In this study, several thin-layer chromatography (TLC) methods are described for the identification of quaternary and non-quaternary compounds (parent compounds, intermediates, by-products, and products) arisen within the synthesis of the acetylcholinesterase reactivator HI-6, at present the most promising antidote in the case of nerve agent poisonings. Using the TLC technique, particular E and...

stachys genus with medicinal properties and high polymorphic features has been considered oneof the largest genera of lamiaceae. the aim of this study was to determine the flavonoid patternvariations and flavonoid groups in ten stachys species belonging to two sections; fragilicaulis,and aucheriana. the studied species were collected from natural habitats in iran and analysedfor their flavonoid...

      In the present study, an oxidative conversion of non-fluorescent dichlorofluoroscein (LDCF) to fluorescent dichlorofluoroscein (DCF) was used for detection of antioxidant properties of plant extracts. The rate of the reaction was followed by monitoring the formation of DCF as a function of time. The antioxidant assay was carried out for different concentrations of gallic acid, Salvia ...

Morinda citrifolia L., commonly known as noni, is a growing global commodity. As such , there is a need for rapid and inexpensive identity tests of noni fruit and leaf products. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) methods w ere developed for the identification of deacetylasperulosidic acid in noni fruit and leaf products. TLC methods were also developed for the identification of scopoletin in noni ...
