Although chlorophylls in oils affect oxidative stabilities, little has been known about the prooxidant activity of the chlorophylls or their decomposition products. To evaluate the prooxidant activities of chlorophyll derivatives, chlorophyll (CHL) A and B, pheophytin (PHY) A and B and pheophorbide (PHO) A and B were added to methyl linoleate (ML). The sample oils were then subjected to photooxidation at O C and the peroxide value and absorbance at 234 nm were measured. Chlorophylls catalyzed oxidation of methyl linoleate at concentrations greater than 2.2×10−9mol/g ML, and CHL B showed a stronger prooxidant activity, ca. twice that of CHL A under the same light intensity. PHY and PHO exhibited stronger prooxidant activities than CHL, the prooxidant activity of PHO being the strongest among them. Moreover, photosensitive activity was found in PHY as well as in CHL. These results suggest that particular attention should be paid to the decomposition products of CHL that affect the quality of vegetable oils.
