Abstract
⺠Peroxidase activity on chlorophyll (chl) substrate was characterised from olive fruit. ⺠An additional electron donor, 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP), speeded the chlorophyll oxidation. ⺠A sequential series of oxidised chlorophyll compounds not described to date were produced. ⺠An inhibition by excess in DCP, chlorophyll and chlorophyllide was proved for first time. ⺠Peroxidase was non-functional with Mg-free chlorophyll substrates (pheophytin or pheophorbide).
