As a result, water
could penetrate and extract phenolic compounds more effectively.
Water soluble components in the water extract
might include proteins, phenolic compounds, mimosine,
etc. Prior chlorophyll removal could reduce phenolic content
of extracts from 56.2 to 43.1 g GA equivalent/100 g
extract. When calculated with reference to the weight of lead
seed, the higher phenolic compounds were extracted (9.7 g
GA equivalent/ 100 g lead seed) from seed without prior
chlorophyll removal, compared with those from non-prior
chlorophyll removal counterpart (8.7 g GA equivalent/
100 g lead seed) (P
