Chlorophyll Uses

 Chefs use Chlorophyll (CAS NO.1406-65-1) could be used to colour a variety of foods and beverages green, such as pasta and absinthe.It is not soluble in water and is first mixed with a small quantity of oil to obtain the desired result. Extracted Liquid it was considered unstable and always denatured, until 1997 when Frank S.& Lisa Sagliano , used freeze drying of liquid chlorophyll at the University of Florida and stabilized it as a powder, preserving it for future use.

Chlorophyll Specification

 Chlorophyll (CAS NO.1406-65-1) is a green pigment found in most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Its name is derived from the Greek χλωρ?ς (chloros "green") and φ?λλον (phyllon "leaf"). It absorbs light most strongly in the blue and red but poorly in the green portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, hence the green colour of chlorophyll-containing tissues such as plant leaves.
