Study of deterioration of chlorophylls during storage and treatment of garden peas and spinach.

[In Spanish. / En espagnol.]

Summary

Garden peas and spinach subjected to different treatments were analysed. Samples stored at 5 or -30 deg C were characteristically bright green-coloured, whereas those subjected to scald at 120 deg C were olive-brown coloured, which is characteristic of pheophytins, responsible for deterioration of chlorophylls in the processed products.
