Abstract
Following the report of photosensitisation of albino rats when fed lucerne leaf protein (LP) and the suggestion that this was due to pheophorbide, the amounts of chlorophyll‐degradation products in LPs from a range of species were determined. The results were correlated with the chlorophyllase activity of the leaves from which the preparations were made.Keywords
