The air-dried aerial leaves of Petroselinum crispum, Thymus satureioides and dried Spirulina platensis powder were separately extracted using a Soxhlet apparatus. The dark green solution obtained was subject to the dechlorophyllation by two techniques, the electrocoagulation and solvent extraction. The obtained absorbances, were particularly much lower for electrocoagulation process. This result showed that this technique can remove easily plant pigments in the extracts, without affecting the chemical composition on secondary metabolites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
