Chlorophylls are a group of naturally occurring green pigments present in all photosynthetic plants, including Citrus, and also can be found in alge and some bacteria. It's what makes citrus leaves green. Chlorophylls are in greater abundance than any other organic pigment produced in nature. It is estimated the annual production, at about 1,100,000,000 TONS. Carotenoids, the orange pigment found in the peel of oranges, and many other areas in nature is 100,000,000 tons. An interesting fact is that the citrus genus is remarkable for producing the largest number of carotenoids that can be found in fruits. - Millet
