J. Pokorny et al., DETERMINATION OF CHLOROPHYLL PIGMENTS IN CRUDE VEGETABLE-OILS - RESULTS OF A COLLABORATIVE STUDY AND THE STANDARDIZED METHOD (TECHNICAL REPORT), Pure and applied chemistry, 67(10), 1995, pp. 1781-1787
The development, by collaborative study, of a standardized method for
the determination of chlorophyll pigments (mainly pheophytins, which a
re produced by loss of magnesium from the molecules of respective chlo
rophylls) in crude vegetable oils is described. The chlorophyll pigmen
ts are determined by spectrophotometric measurement at 670 nm.
