摘要
The method of spectrophotometric measurement of carotenoid and chlorophyll content in extracts from plant seeds was modified. The pigments were extracted with a mixture of petroleum ether (PE) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) (PE to THF ratio 4: 1). Equations for calculations of beta-carotene, lutein, chlorophyll a and b content in PE: THF mixture were obtained using specific absorption coefficients of solutions of particular pigments. It was shown that subtraction of chlorophyll contribution from the absorption spectrum of seed extracts yields spectra, which could be used in some cases for calculation of carotene and xanthophyll contents.
