Chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll is a green pigment, through which plants capture sunlight energy and carry out photosynthesis. Its structure is similar to hemoglobin. The only difference is that in the center of the chelate complex of chlorophyll is an atom of magnesium and in hemoglobin is iron.
Description:
Chlorophyll (from the Greek. χλωρός “green” and φύλλον – “leaf” ) is a green pigment responsible for the coloration of plants in green, with the help of it the plants catch the energy of sun light and carry out photosynthesis.
Chemical structure chlorophyll is a group of complex magnesium-organic chelate compounds. The chlorophylls have a porphyrin structure and structurally similar to hemoglobin.
Chlorophyll is registered as food supplements Е140.
Scientists have found a surprising similarity in the structure of the molecule of chlorophyll and hemoglobin – the main respiratory pigment in human blood. The only difference is that in the center of the chelate complex of chlorophyll is an atom of magnesium and in hemoglobin is iron.
Therefore, the chlorophyll is beneficial for human health.
Application:
– as a food additive in the food industry
– in perfumes,
– for the production of medicines.
