Apple Pigment Separation Lab
The lab we conducted was to test if the pigment of a red delicious apple was lipid soluble or water soluble. The lab took two different trials and tests to come up with the result. We used two types of solvents—isopropyl alcohol, and 92% petroleum ether with 8% acetone solution. Using these two types of solvents we then conducted a chromatography test to make a conclusion on if the red apple pigment was lipid soluble or water soluble.
