Hi everyone!
I project to mesure levels of various nutricional parameter in pepper fruits. Looking up in the literature, I found out the research article of Nagata and Yamashita (1992), in which a spectrophotometric method for analysis of chlorophyll and carotene in fruits is described.
I think that the information provided by Nagata and Yamashita (1992) could be very useful for our project. Even though, this paper is not written in English, but in Japanese (a language that, unfortunately, I do not understand).
As it is a highly cited study (1112 citations in Google Scholar, many of them from non-Japanese authors), I suspect that the procedure of Nagata and Yamashita (1992) must be detailed in English somewhere.
I would be grateful if someone could give me some light about this.
Thanks in advance!
Pablo Reguera

Hi!
Someone has uploaded a summary to Research Gate. But I am not sure if it is correct.

Hi Pablo,
I have translated to English, although briefly, the methods of the original paper.
Please also refer someone's file.
