Paper chromatography is a technique used for the separation of components, specifically pigments, therefore, the objective of the research was to identify the presence of different photosynthetic pigments in vegetable leaves. Three types of samples were used (butternut squash, bean and tomato leaves) and two treatments (acetone and ethyl alcohol), where it was identified that the best solvent for pigment extraction was acetone because it carried out a better dragging of compounds; In the butternut squash leaves it was possible to identify an additional compound to those present in the bean and tomato leaves, the carotenes.
