COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHY EXTRACTION OF PIGMENTS …
users.stlcc.eduPurpose: To separate plant pigments from spinach leaves using column chromatography. The leaves of plants contain a number of colored pigments generally falling into two categories, chlorophylls and carotenoids. Chlorophylls a and b are the pigments that make plants look green. These highly conjugated compounds capture the (non-green)
LAB 7 Photosynthesis
www.lamission.eduThe various plant pigments have differing degrees of hydrophobicity. Therefore, if we use a liquid solvent that is hydrophobic, different plant pigments will move at differing rates through the piece of paper as the liquid solvent is absorbed upward. In this way, individual pigments can be separated into bands on the filter paper.

Plant Pigment Chromatography
vaei.vai.org• Plant pigments are colored molecules that absorb light at specific wavelengths. These molecules capture the energy of sunlight and use it to make their own food. For more information about the different types of plant pigments, provide this resource (or your own) for students to review: Photosynthetic Pigments ...
Paper Chromatography of Pigments in a Spinach Leaf
weissman.baruch.cuny.eduPaper Chromatography of Pigments in a Spinach Leaf INTRODUCTION Colored molecules or pigments often occur as mixtures in nature. An example is the spinach leaf, which appears dark green, but is actually a mixture of several pigments of different color. In order to identify the individual pigments, chemists use a technique known as
