Activated Carbon in Food And Beverage

Activated Carbon in Food And Beverage

In the beverage industry, the main applications of activated carbon include liquid phase adsorption, decolorization, deodorization, de-altering, evaporation and other functions. However do you know the main details of activated carbon application? Today we will talk about it.

Main Application of Activated Carbon in Food And Beverage:

Scrap Candy

During the reprocessing or recycling of off-specification scrap products in the confectionery industry treatment of residual colour and other impurities is needed.

Vegetable Oil

Raw materials to produce refined vegetable oil need to be purified because they are sometimes contaminated with pesticides and herbicides. Some raw materials are also directly dried with engine off gas resulting in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) contamination. For example, contamination with benzo(a)pyrene.

Alcopops and Clear Beers

Alcopops and clear beers are special malt-based beverages that are obtained by using activated carbon to decolourise beer. The Colin Services solutions can be used to purify beer.

Fish Oil

Fish and sea mammals are generally at the top of the marine life food chain and accumulate carcinogenic persistent organic pollutants (POP) such as dioxins, furans, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), pesticides and herbicides, etc. as a result of human activity. Fish oil can be purified with the Colin  Services purification solutions.

At Colin Carbon, we manufacture a wide array of activated carbons used in food and beverage processing. This range includes: Granular activated carbon, Powdered activated carbon, etc. And any inquiry about activated carbon, please feel free to contact us: [email protected]
