Spanish term

feofitinización

Spanish to English Science Botany Fermentation processes
I'm translating a report on the detection of food colouring in olive oil manufacture and in the part describing the various chemical processes of fermentation the following phrase came up...

"El pH del fruto, aunque es ácido (pH = 6.7), no llega a los valores que se alcanzan por el proceso de fermentación (pH < 4.5), y esto justifica la mayor resistencia de las clorofilas iniciales a la reacción de feofitinización (sustitución del Mg por H)."

I've googled the term "feofitinización", which yields only a handful of results, and searched for the English term for substitution of Magnesium by Hydrogen, which doesn't give any single term for the process.

Anyone now what the English term might be for the process where Mg is replaced by H?

Cheers

phaeophytinisation

That's the equivalent term in English. Mind you, because it's so uncommon both in Spanish and English, you might be better off using a descriptive expression such as "replacement of the Mg central atom with an H atom".

"Pheophytinization" is an alternative, American spelling which yields a few more results:

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I should have been more specific about whether this was for British or American spelling. I'm choosing this one as I need the term in British. Thanks for your help."

phaeophytinization

Given there already exists the english word phaeophytin, I think you can add the -ization suffix whithout any problems.
