SUMMARY The oxidative production of green pigments from horse oxyhaemoglobin with ascorbic acid is accelerated by fluorides, ammonium chloride and by various organic nitrogenous substances such as amines, diacetyl monoxime and anthranilic acid. When cyanide and sodium dithionite replace ascorbic acid, fluorides inhibit but ammonium chloride and some nitrogenous substances accelerate green pigment formation. Diacetyl monoxime and N‐phenylanthranilic acid together increase the yield of bile pigment when oxyhaemoglobin is treated with ascorbic acid.
