Chromatography is a crucial biophysical method that makes it possible to identify, separate, and purify a mixture's
constituent parts for both qualitative and quantitative examination. Proteins can be separated according to features such as
size and shape, total charge, the number of hydrophobic groups on their surface, and their ability to bind to the stationary
phase[23].
Based on the nature of the interaction and the properties of the molecules, four separation techniques four methods of
separation—surface adsorption, partition, and exclusion of the size—are employed, depending on the molecular properties
and type of contact[24].
The two phases used in this approach are the mobile phase and the stationary phase. Depending on the sample's
composition, one phase of the process may be polar and the other non-polar [65].
Analytical methods generally differ significantly based on the sample type, minimum detection limit, apparatus, and
chromatographic process. Chromatographic separation, followed by identification and detection, are examples of specific
uses. mination of individual constituents, assessment of the distribution of the boiling range, and identification of the
various hydrocarbon group types[40].
Chromatography types :-
Chromatography types include column and ion-exchange chromatography,Gel-permeation (molecular sieve)
chromatography, affinity, gas, paper, thin-layer, dye- ligand, hydrophobic interaction, pseudo affinity, and high-pressure
liquid chromatography (HPLC) are among the chromatographic techniques that can be used.
Column chromatography- Chromatography in columns Given that proteins differ in terms of their size, structure, net charge,
stationary phase utilized, and binding capacity, chromatographic techniques can be used to purify each of these
distinguishing elements[23].
Today, HPLC is widely applied for separations and purifications in a variety of areas, including pharmaceuticals,
biotechnology, environmental, polymer, and food industries. It is accomplished by injection of a small amount of liquid
sample into a moving stream of liquid (called the mobile phase) that passes through a column packed with particles of the
stationary phase. The separation of a mixture into its components depends on the different degrees of retention of each [31].
Gas chromatography : An analytical method that is frequently used to separate and examine volatile and gaseous substances
is gas chromatography.To separate the analytes in gas chromatography, the sample is dissolved in a solvent and then
vaporized[53].
Thin layer chromatograph y : A thin glass plate coated in silica gel or aluminum oxide serves as the solid phase in thin-layer
chromatography.A solvent is selected as the mobile phase based on the characteristics of the mixture's constituent parts[39].
Paper chromatography: The partition concept, which divides different components between the liquid phases, is used in
paper chromatography.The aqueous solvent is contained in the stationary phase of this, which is the filter paper.The paper is
moved by the mobile phase. The capillary action of the pores allows for the separating process[82].
Advances in chromatography
One technique for distinguishing organic and inorganic molecules is chromatography. The definition of "color writing" is
chromatography. The foundation of chromatography is differential migration. The stationary phase, or column, is traversed
by the mobile phase, which collects the chemicals for testing. Taken with the compounds, the mobile phase proceeds
through the stationary phase. A glass tube with a diameter of 5 mm to 50 mm and a height of 5 cm to 1 m is the traditional
preparative chromatography column. For a 1 cm-diameter column, 25 g of adsorbent are needed in order to achieve a
greater separation than in a 2 cm-diameter column[79].
In order to solve more complex analytical problems where at least one of the techniques is a separation technique and the
other is a spectroscopic detection technique, hyphenated techniques have developed as a tool to find complete biological
shapes of herbal medicine arrangements or quotations. In contrast to a method that relies solely on logic, the coupling aims
to extract the material from a complicated mixture for identification and quantification. Capillary electrophoresis (CE), gas
chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are examples of
separation procedures [58].
Without a doubt, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is important. It is the only chromatographic technique that allows the
result to be shown as an image. Moreover, TLC is the only method where the chromatogram contains every component of
the sample. In contrast, not every component in the sample is displayed by HPLC and GC due to their selectivity. Stahl's
work, which established the use of calcium sulfate as a binder and standardized layer thickness and chromatographic
development, was responsible for the actual breakthrough in TLC (Stahl, 1958), [34].
A sophisticated chromatographic method called two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) combines two separate
chromatographic separations to increase peak capacity and resolution. It is intended to solve the drawbacks of conventional
one-dimensional chromatography, including the co-elution of analytes and a finite peak capacity[83].
To obtain the appropriate extracts, 250 g of dried E. neriifolia leaves were extracted in turn using pet-ether, benzene,
chloroform, ethyl acetate, and ethanol. The leaves were then macerated with distilled water (non-polar to polar). Using
quercetin as a standard, the flavonoid contents and their existence were ascertained using the Harborne (1998) method. TLC
was used to analyze the extracts[89].
Isolation of Glycoside
The N-Hexane/Ethyl Acetate/Methanol/Water solvent solution was degassed in about 2000 milliliters using a 20-minute
ultrasonic bath. For HSCCC separation, the column was completely filled with the upper phase (stationary phase) before the
lower phase (mobile phase) was added at a flow rate of 2.0 mL/min (head to tail). The device's speed was 860 rpm when
turned backward. At the moment of separation, it was 25 ◦C. The detection wavelength employed was 227 nm. The
powdered crude extract (about 100 mg) was dissolved in 10 mL of the solvent system prior to being injected onto the
column. After separation, two fractions were collected, referred to as I and II. Vacuum-formed fractions condensed at 50 °C
[91].
Isolation of saponine
Extraction Methods: Three times, 0.9 kg of dried Panax ginseng roots were ground into a coarse powder and steeped in 7.2
L of 90% aqueous ethanol for 45 minutes. The extract solution was first filtered, and then concentrated. The concentrated
solution was diluted with deionized water and separated using a 0.6 L macroporous resin column. Seven bed volumes of
deionized water were pushed through the column in order to remove impurities. Ginsenosides were then isocratically eluted
using four bed volumes of 70% aq. EtOH at a flow rate of 10 mL/min. At 60°C, the fractions were vacuum-concentrated to
get a crude saponin sample[80].
