Summary A spectrophotometric procedure for determining and calculating the chlorophyll content of unhardened as well as hardened soybean oil has been given. This procedure has proven satisfactory from a practical standpoint for controlling the greenness imparted to finished shortenings by chlorophyll. The influence of the refining, hydrogenation and deodorization operations on the chlorophyll content has also been reviewed. Isotherms have also been presented which illustrate the complexity encountered in bleaching soybean oil with respect to chlorophyll.
