The water soluble forms, Sodium Chlorophyllin (E140(ii)) and Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin (E141(ii)) are obtained by the saponification of oil soluble forms. The Copper Chlorophyllin pigment gives bright green and is very stable against light and heat, whereas standard Chlorophyllin gives olive green and has poor stability in both of these conditions.
