Chlorophyll is the green pigment that plays an important role in plants' survival. It tends to be used as a natural coloring agent in the food industry. In this study, many conditions including different solvents (ethanol, methanol, acetone, and diethyl ether), enhancers (Mg2+ and Zn2+), temperature, and enzymatic activities were investigated for the impact on chlorophyll extracting from Centella asiatica L. The result on showed that 96% ethanol is the effective solvent for chlorophyll extraction, along with 100 mg MgO supplement in temperature-dependent manner. Pectinase also presented the most impact factor on extracting at the concentration of 0.2% for 4 hours of incubation.
