The food and beverage industry is a key industry globally, involving all stages of the process from food processing and beverage production to the final consumer. Producers of food and beverages face stringent quality control and safety testing standards. Water, energy and raw materials used in the production process must be removed from any potentially hazardous impurities or contaminants to ensure public health.
Activated carbon plays an important role in the food and beverage industry as a highly effective adsorbent. It provides an effective solution for improving food quality, ensuring safety, and achieving environmental goals.
Edible oil: activated carbon is used to remove impurities, pigments and odours from oil, making it purer and more stable. Including palm oil, olive oil, coconut oil and rapeseed oil. It is effective in changing colours and removing toxins that are naturally present or entrained during the extraction or refining process.
Fruit juice: activated carbon is used to remove pigments, odours and impurities from fruit juice, making the juice clearer and purer while enhancing the taste and flavour. For apple/grape juice concentrates, we can remove penicillin and eventually even trace pesticides. We supply Colorsorb™ HP-series and CP-series in powdered form.
Sweeteners: At producers of sucrose, glucose and fructose, activated carbon helps to decolorise and remove impurities, ensuring the purity and taste of the product.
Marine collagen: activated carbon is used to purify and remove impurities generated during the extraction process, enhancing the quality of collagen.
Wine: it is used to remove odours, colours and unwanted impurities from wine, maintaining its flavour and clarity.Lactic acid, gelatin, monosodium glutamate (MSG).
The use of activated carbon in the food and beverage industry not only helps companies to improve product quality and ensure food safety, but also meets environmental and sustainability requirements. Against the backdrop of increasingly stringent regulations and consumer expectations, the role of activated carbon is becoming more and more important.
