AB - Chlorophyll is an antioxidant which usually found in nature
especially in green leafy plants. The experiment study had an objective to evaluate
the content of chlorophyll A in two species of mulberry, Nakhorn Ratchasrima-60
and Burirum-60. The two species of mulberry were extracted by 95% ethanol as
a solvent and the chlorophyll A extraction was collected and detected by spectrophotometer
by mean of 2 wavelengths, 420 and 680 nm. The experiments were repeated 3 times
and chlorophyll A was calculated by using the equation of Lorenzen. The results
showed that the amounts of chlorophyll A from Nakhorn Ratchasrima-60 Strain
were 15-929, 24.212 and 20.112 mg L‾1 with the average of 20.084
mg L‾1 and from Burirum-60 were 19.641, 21.137 and 18.713 mg L‾1
with the average was 19.668 mg L‾1. The amount of chlorophyll A content
in Nakhorn Rachasrima-60 species were slightly higher than in Burirum-60 species.
