Hello Mate,

ethanol compare well as extraction solvents used in chlorophyllevaluation from microalga biomass. ... However, this effect is reduced when more polar pigments, such as carotenoids, are extracted with very hydrophilic solvents like methanol, where the main role is played by the solvent itself....

Hope this helps you
