Extraction of chlorophyll (Arnon, 1949) One gram of finely cut fresh leaves were taken and ground with 20 – 40ml of 80% acetone. It was then centrifuged at 5000 –10000rpm for 5mins. The supernatant was transferred and the procedure was repeated till the residue becomes colorless. The absorbance of the solution was red at 645nm and 663nm against the solvent (acetone) blank.
