Phaeophytin is a brown or olive-green pigment that is derived from chlorophyll. It is formed when chlorophyll loses its central magnesium ion, resulting in a pigment that plays a role in photosynthesis by participating in the transfer of electrons. The color can vary slightly depending on the specific conditions and the presence of other pigments.
