  • Method for treating pyropheophytin-containing compositions
    Patent number: 9493748
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and uses for treating pyropheophytin-containing compositions, particularly in order to remove pyropheophytin therefrom. The compositions are typically plant, algal, or bacterial derived products such as vegetable oils. The method comprises a step of contacting the compositions with an enzyme having pyropheophytinase activity. Also provided are related apparatus and products for performing such methods and uses.

  • ASSAY FOR PHYTOL-FREE CHLOROPHYLL DERIVATIVES
    Publication number: 20130040328
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting a phytol-free chlorophyll derivative in a sample, comprising a step of detecting a fluorescent signal associated with the phytol-free chlorophyll derivative, wherein a fluorescent signal associated with chlorophyll or a phytol-containing chlorophyll derivative in the sample is quenched. The method may be used for quantifying activity of chlorophyllases and related enzymes in a sample without solvent fractionation of substrate and product.
