Β Carotene

Carotenoids were extracted from gametophytes of Allomyces arbuscula at different periods during gametogenesis. After separation by thin-layer chromatography γ-carotene, lycopene and β-carotene were identified from their absorp­tion spectra in visible light. No other carotenoids were detected. After a lag period of 30 min following induction of gametogenesis γ-carotene was the only carotenoid present in extracts, followed by traces of β-carotene at 60 min and by lycopene at 90 min. Accumulation of carotenoids continued during the later stages of gametangia development. Analysis of pigments that had been extracted from asexual mitospores showed that these spores contained both γ-carotene and lycopene.

Leaves of Beyeria viscosa secrete resin with components related to the gibberellins. Two-celled glandular hairs are well developed on the young leaf, and are coated with a thick layer of resin, which makes up almost half the dry weight associated with the young leaf. Plastids of the glandular hairs have poorly developed internal membranes but are enveloped in tubules, apparently derived from endoplasmic reticulum. As the leaf expands, resin secretion ceases; the resin layer is torn apart and is seen largely as caps over the hairs. Resin accounts for some 20% of the dry weight associated with the mature leaf. Resin components also accumulate in the epidermis and certain mesophyll cells. No significant changes take place in the chemistry of the secreted components as the leaves mature, as seen by thin-layer chromatography.

Β Carotene

Carotenoids are pigments with a range of red, orange and yellow colors. In carotenoid and chlorophyll plants are located in chloroplasts which undergo photosynthesis as well as photosynthetic bacteria and fungi. Carotenoid compounds have antioxidant activity, anticancer, as precursors of vitamin A and can enhance immunity. Crustaceans like crabs Grapsus sp. have carotenoid pigments, visible red, orange, and yellow are scattered in the carapace. Pigments found in crustaceans as well as crabs of Grapsus sp. generally sourced from food eaten by the crab. To determine the process of carotenoid pigment metabolism, each crab organ of Grapsus sp. isolated using thin layer chromatography separation method and column chromatography to determine the type of pigment contained therein. Pigment types identified in the crabs of Grapsus sp. males using the TLC method: β-carotene, Astasen type, Cantasantin, Astasantin, and Adonirubin. Pigment types identified in the crabs of Grapsus sp. males using the CC method: β-carotene, Astasen, β-cryptosanthine, Zeaxantine, and Cryptosanthine. Keywords : Grapsus sp., Thin Layer Chromatography, Column Chromatography, Carotenoids Pigments.             Karotenoid merupakan pigmen dengan kisaran warna merah, orange dan kuning. Pada tumbuhan karotenoid dan klorofil terletak pada kloroplas yang mengalami proses fotosintesis seperti juga pada bakteri fotosintetik dan fungi. Senyawa karotenoid memiliki aktivitas antioksidan, antikanker, sebagai prekursor vitamin A dan dapat meningkatkan imunitas. Krustasea seperti kepiting Grapsus sp. mempunyai pigmen karotenoid, terlihat warna merah, jingga, dan kuning yang tersebar pada karapas. Pigmen yang terdapat pada krustasea demikian juga pada kepiting Grapsus sp. umumnya bersumber dari makanan yang dimakan oleh kepiting tersebut. Untuk mengetahui proses metabolisme pigmen karotenoid maka masing-masing organ kepiting Grapsus sp. diisolasi dengan menggunakan metode pemisahan kromatografi lapis tipis dan kromatografi kolom untuk mengetahui jenis pigmen yang terkandung didalamnya. Jenis pigmen yang teridentifikasi pada kepiting Grapsus sp. jantan dengan metode KLT yaitu : β- karoten, Tipe Astasen, Kantasantin, Astasantin, dan Adonirubin. Jenis pigmen yang teridentifikasi pada kepiting Grapsus sp. jantan dengan metode KK  yaitu : β- karoten, Astasen, β-kriptosantin, Zeaxantin, dan Kriptosantin. Kata Kunci : Grapsus sp., Kromatografi Lapis Tipis, Kromatografi Kolom, Pigmen Karotenoid.

A fast, sensitive high performance thin-layer chromatographic method for the determination of α-, β-, and γ-amanitin in crude, methanolic extracts of Amanita phalloides is described. The limit of detection is 50 ng of each amanitin. With this method amanitin was determined in 24 pooled samples of Amanita phalloides, collect­ed between 1970 and 1977 in Germany and Switzerland. The total amanitin content varied be­tween 2010 and 7300 mg/kg dry weight and the average value was 4430 mg/kg of which 43% was α-amanitin, 49% β-amanitin and 8% γ-amanitin. The origin of the fungi hardly influenced their amanitin content: in samples collected during the same year at different sites it fluctuated within a factor of 1.7. The amanitin content of samples from the same site, but collected in different years, maximally varied within a factor of 3.7. The partial decomposition of amanitins during prolonged storage of the lyophilized samples undoubtedly contributed to this variation. Phalloidin, which was determined by conventional thin-layer-chromatography, could not be de­tected in a sample from 1970, whereas its concentration in material collected during 1977 amount­ed to 2400 mg/kg dry weight. The toxicity of the samples (LD50 of lyophilized defatted methanolic extracts intravenously for mice) varied within a factor of 2.5.
