Abstract
The chromophoric substances which cause light absorption of optical spectra of the perfused Langendorff heart in the wavelength range of 500 to 650 nm are myoglobin and the cytochromes of the respiratory chain. We use a modified multicomponent analysis based on the two-flux theory of Kubelka and Munk (1931; Kubelka, 1948; 1954) to quantify the reflection spectra. Since the absorption spectra of the involved substances have overlapping absorption peaks and different forms, their concentration ratios are determined within different accuracy. The experiments show that the accuracy can be improved by the introduction of constraints, e.g. the reduction of the number of the basic absorption spectra. The constraints are worked out for the special measuring conditions.
