Abstract
IN our laboratory we have been endeavouring to devise a simple technique for chromatographic separation of anthocyanins1–3. Various partition media, mainly several kinds of cellulose powder, namely, Tōyō, Carl Schleicher and Schüll No. 123 and Whatman B and Ashless were used. It was found that the quality of the cellulose powder was one of the most important factors, and that only Whatman B (produced between 1952 and 1953 according to a letter from H. Reeve Angel and Co., London) showed excellent separating ability.
