Chlorophyll Color Changes of Chlorophyll in Response to Changes in pH Under more or less neutral conditions, chlorophyll has its normal vegetable green color (think of raw green beans or broccoli) Chlorophyll
Color Changes of Chlorophyll in Response to Changes in pH Under acidic conditions, the magnesium atom (Mg+2) is lost and the color changes to the characteristic pheophytin olive green color. No Mg+2 atom Pheophytin
Color Changes of Chlorophyll in Response to Changes in pH Under alkaline conditions the methyl and phytyl esters are removed, producing chlorophyllin which is a bright green color. No ester groups Chlorophyllin
Color Changes of Chlorophyll in Response to Changes in pH Chlorophyllase Other reactions, mediated by the enzyme chlorophyllase, may result in changes in the pigment, even under conditions of frozen storage. This is why such vegetables (green beans, broccoli, etc.) are blanched (put briefly in boiling water) before preservation by freezing. This destroys the enzyme activity.
