This study tried to quantitatively clarify the usefulness of supercritical fluid extraction for removal of chlorophyll and pheophorbide from Chlorella pyrenoidosa. C. pyrenoidosapowder was subjected to supercritical fluid extraction, and chlorophyll aand pheophorbide ain its extracted fractions were measured by HPLC-UV. Chlorophyll aand pheophorbide ain residue after supercritical fluid extraction became below of detection limit.
