The invention discloses a method for preparing 
chlorophyll cuprate and 
sodium copper chlorophyll. The method comprises the following steps: taking fresh 
plant stem leaves, adding 90-95% of 
ethanol, pulping and extracting, and pressing and juicing; roughly filtering the juice by using a gauze of 180-300 meshes, and subsequently carrying out high-speed 
centrifugation with the speed of 4,000-6,000rpm; adding 5% of a NaOH solution and adjusting the pH value to be 11-12, saponifying, carrying out vacuum concentration and recycling the 
ethanol; adjusting the pH value to be 2-3, adding 10% of CuSO4 solution for 
copper substitution; subsequently sequentially washing 
sediment obtained from suction 
filtration in 
warm water for three times and washing the 
sediment in a low-degree 
ethanol solution for three times; directly 
drying the obtained 
sediment so as to obtain 
chlorophyll cuprate solid powder; dissolving the washed sediment by using 
acetone; adding 5% of a NaOH ethanol solution to adjust the pH value to be 10-12, washing the sediment, and 
drying the sediment after suction 
filtration so as to obtain 
sodium copper chlorophyll 
solid powder. The recycling rate of the method is 0.7-1.0%, and the prepared 
sodium copper chlorophyll meets various requirements of the GB36406-2011 standard. According to the method, as two time-consumption steps of concentration and 
saponification are combined together, the time is greatly shortened, the step of 
organic solvent extraction is eliminated, the process is simplified, and the cost is lowered.
