Looking for cheap and simple procedure for extracting chlorophyll from plant
material.  Need to be able to separate from solvent used so that a non-toxic
mixture of chlorophyll and fixed oil can be made.
 
Thanks for any suggestions and/or directions.

Suggest you extract in ethyl alcohol, then dehydrate. Be cautious: you
will get more than the chlorophyll. Use only fully edible plants if you're
planning 
to consume the stuff.
