TURNITIN :: PENGGUNAAN KITIN SEBAGAI ALTERNATIF FASE DIAM KROMATOGRAFI LAPIS TIPIS DALAM PRAKTIKUM KIMIA ORGANIK

Abstract

Utilization of chitin as a stationary phase of TLC to separate the compound components from plants had been carried out. The objective of this study was to investigate (1) the effectiveness of chitin as a stationary phase in TLC to separate the compound components of plants, and (2) composition of compounds in plant extracts that can be separated by chitin. Research method is experiment in laboratory. Sampling technique of plant extract (mahogany seed, turmeric rhizome, and pandanus leaf) using random sampling technique, while shrimp shrimp skin is shrimp waste from Indu Manis Banjarmasin factory. Data were analyzed descriptively qualitative. The results showed that chitin rendemen successfully isolated from shrimp skin was 36,44%. Chitin is effectively used as an alternative to stationary phase in TLC to separate the compound components from plant sample extracts (mahogany seeds, pandanus leaves, and turmeric rhizomes).
