A comparative analysis of photosynthetic pigment elution efficiency by different organic solvents of varying concentrations on leaves of Tecoma stans (L.) Kunth
Keywords:
eluent, Tecoma stans, chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, carotenoids, butyl alcoholAbstract
Quantitative analysis of photosynthetic pigments using different organic solvents and different concentrations of the same was conducted on leaves of Tecoma stans. The organic solvents used were Acetone, Methanol, Chloroform, Ethanol and Butyl alcohol of 40 and 80 percentage concentrations. From the study it was understood that Methanol at 40% was the best eluent of chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, total chlorophylls and carotenoids. Butyl alcohol at 80% was the weakest eluent of chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b and total chlorophylls; where as Methanol at 80% was giving minimum elution of carotenoids.
