Activated carbon products are used in the wine and vinegar production industries to modify colour, remove unwanted odours and remove contaminants. Our activated carbons are effective solutions, helping producers to ensure they comply with strict industry regulations.

Activated carbon serves multiple needs for glycerine purification, including stabilisation and ageing control of the final product, and the removal of unwanted colours and byproducts.

Activated carbon serves as an ideal natural additive colourant for pigmentation used in the manufacture of confectionary (in particular, liquorice) cheese and cosmetics.

Activated carbons are commonly used in the production of the thickener gelatin, and the preservatives lactic acid and mono sodium glutamate (also known widely as MSG). Kelin supplies high quality activated carbon products in granular and powdered form for decolourisation, deodorisation and organics removal.

Kelin offers various carbon products for the purification of citric acid and removing unwanted colour compounds. Use of activated carbons can help citric acid producers meet their high food quality standards and industry regulations.

Activated carbon is commonly used in edible oil purification for both:

• Colour modification
• Toxic contaminants removal (PAH – Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Dioxines and PCB – Polychlorinated Bipheny)

Our powdered activated carbons provide industry leading performance in this application.
