Study on the Stability of Chlorophyll in Raphanus sativus L.

Taking seeds of Raphanus sativus L.as materials,the effects of some factors including light intensity,pH value,temperature,H2O2 and metallic ions on the stability of chlorophyll in Raphanus sativus L.were studied,in order to provide useful information for developing chlorophyll in Raphanus sativus L.The results showed that chlorophyll in Raphanus sativus L.was of a poor stability of light intensity treatment,while its stability of temperature and H2O2 treatments was satisfactory.pH value had small effects on preservation of chlorophyll in Raphanus sativus L.,and treatments of Zn2+,Cu2+ could increase the stability of chlorophyll.
