Chlorophyll
Product Name: Chlorophyll
Source: Vegetable leaves
Extraction Part: Vegetable leaves
Specification: 99%
Appearance: Dark green powder
Description
Chlorophyll structure is a water soluble salt. It is processed by alkaline hydrolysis of chlorophyll using copper. The structure of chlorophyll consists of nitrogen, hydrocarbons, carbon and oxygen around magnesium atoms. Chlorophyll is able to convert sunlight into energy and carbon dioxide into oxygen. Hence it is used as various forms of energy. Sodium chlorophyll is derived by alkaline hydrolysis process where magnesium atoms are replaced by sodium and copper.
It is a stable chlorophyll. It is available in green to black powder or liquid form and is insoluble in water. It is very stable under normal conditions without much fluctuation in light or heat.
