Abstract A circular paper chromatographic method was developed for the separation of the amino acids in proteins into 7 subgroups. Butanol-acetic acid-water (4+1+1) was used as the developing solvent. Eluted ninhydrin-stained aminograms gave rise to graphic profiles or numerical indexes based on absorbance percentages. The profiles can be used to compare protein-containing samples. Twenty different samples were studied through 190 comparisons of graphic profiles and coefficients of correlation, with only 4% misleading results. The method showed excellent reproducibility for the identification or differentiation of proteins and has the advantage of being performed with low-priced apparatus and reagents.

The paper chromatographic behavior of several 5,6-dihydroxyindoles has been studied. The colors given by nine dihydroxyindoles with 16 chromogenic reagents are reported. The Rf values of this group of compounds on Whatman No. 1 paper with 2% acetic acid in water or n-butanol/acetic acid/water (6:1:2) as running solvents have been determined. The 5,6-dihydroxyindoles can be chromatographed satisfactorily using Zaffaroni-type systems (i.e. formamide-treated paper and non-polar running solvents). Satisfactory Rf values can also be obtained for the 5,6-diacetoxyindoles on formamide-treated paper using a suitable non-polar mobile phase. The preparations of several new 5,6-dihydroxyindoles and 5,6-diacetoxyindoles are described and improved procedures for the syntheses of some known members of these groups are reported.

The solution of piperine in multiple solvent including ethanol, acetic acid, water and HCl were investigated to extract more piperine from piper fruit. Piperine was determined by reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography with Diamonsil column (C18,5 μm ,250 mm×4. 6 mm) at 343 nm. Experiment data were simulated by Allometric model and the formula is Z=0.9+ 4.54×10-10×x5.675+1.8029×y2.12848+2.37×10-10×x5.675×y2.12848(Z:sample solution,mol/mL,x: the percentage of ethanol’s volume, ml/100mL,y: the acetic acid in the authentic sample solution, g/100mL), the adj·R2=0.997, the comparative deviation less than 2%. These results are good in agreement with experimental data. It reveals that the model can meet the requirements of the selection and design in extracting piperine from piper fruit.
