Chromatography and Its Applications

Abstract

Chromatography is a powerful separation tool that is used in all branches of science, and is often the only means of separating components from complex mixtures. The Russian botanist Mikhail Tswett coined the term chromatography in 1906. The first analytical use of chromatography was described by James and Martin in 1952, for the use of gas chromatography for the analysis of fatty acid mixtures.A wide range of chromatographic procedures makes use of differences in size, binding affinities, charge, and other properties. Many types of chromatography have been developed. These include Column chromatography, High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Gas chromatography, Size exclusion chromatography, Ion exchange chromatography etc.In this book contains more details about the applications of chromatography by various research findings. Each and every topics of this book have included lists of references at the end to provide students and researchers with starting points for independent chromatography explorations. I welcome comments, criticisms, and suggestions from students, faculty and researchers.

A strategy for healthy eating habits of daily fruits revisited: A metabolomics study

“…These phytochemicals can prevent diseases caused by oxidative stress ( Kaur and Kapoor, 2001 ). Phytochemicals, or secondary metabolites, derived from plants are not directly involved in the growth and development of organisms but have beneficial effects in the case of long-term impairment of organisms ( Costa et al, 2012 ). Secondary metabolites can mainly be divided into terpenes, phenolics, and nitrogen-containing compounds ( Costa et al, 2012 ), among phenolic compounds are most common.…”

Secondary metabolites can mainly be divided into terpenes, phenolics, and nitrogen-containing compounds ( Costa et al, 2012 ), among phenolic compounds are most common. In plants, phenolic compounds are considered as stress metabolites induced by various environmental stimuli ( Awad and de Jager, 2002 ).…”

Comparison of different green‐extraction techniques and determination of the phytochemical profile and antioxidant activity of Echinacea angustifolia L. extracts

“…Medicinal plants can be considered an extensive and not expensive source of phytochemicals, which are valuable compounds for pharmaceutical industry application and drug discovery, thanks to their important antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral and antitumour properties. 1 The search of natural solutions to treat oxidative-related diseases led many research groups to place their focus on the extraction of antioxidants from medicinal plants and on alternative methods to optimise their yield. 2 Nowadays, the extraction of phytochemicals is commonly carried out using traditional methods, including solid-liquid extraction (SLE), Soxhlet extraction (SE) and liquid-liquid extraction (LLE).…”
