SUMMARY A critical comparison was made of a resin separation and two sets of equations for quantitative determination of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b and pheophytin a and pheophytin b in green vegetables. Each of the three procedures proved equally good, depending on the product analyzed, the time available, and whether the results are desired as total chlorophyll or chlorophyll a/b ratios.
