ABSTRACT
The antioxidative properties and chlorophyll contents of protein concentrates obtained by various methods from lucerne were compared. Chloroplast concentrates of lucerne juice (var. Kleszczewska) were precipitated by centrifugation (12 000 g), heating (55°C), or with flocculants (Magnafloc LT-26 and Superfloc A-115). The highest antioxidative activity was obtained in the concentrate
precipitated by Superfloc A-115 after 24 h incubation with linoleic acid. The highest chlorophyll
amount was extracted from the concentrate precipitated by centrifugation; the lowest, from the
preparation coagulated with Superfloc A-115.
