Green color extraction from leaves such as spinach (Spinacia oleracea), chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), and nettle (Urtica dioica) primarily involves isolating chlorophylls and other green pigments like chlorophyllides and carotenoids. The process begins with harvesting fresh, healthy leaves, which are then cleaned, blanched briefly to inactivate enzymes that degrade pigments, and dried or used fresh for extraction. The plant material is ground or crushed to increase surface area, followed by extraction using solvents such as acetone, ethanol, or methanol, often under cool conditions to prevent pigment breakdown. Techniques like ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) or cold maceration can enhance pigment yield and preserve color quality. After extraction, the solution is filtered and concentrated to obtain a vibrant green pigment used in natural food colorants, cosmetics, and textile dyes. Controlling factors like pH, temperature, and light exposure during extraction is essential to maintain pigment stability and prevent color fading.
