food grade activated carbon application
Decolorization of sugar: In the production process of sugar, activated carbon can be used for decolorization to remove pigments and impurities in syrup. The highly porous structure of activated carbon can effectively absorb impurities, making the syrup clear and transparent.
Purification of edible oil: In the production of edible oil, activated carbon is used to purify grease. It can absorb impurities, pigments and odor substances in oil and improve the quality of oil. This process helps extend the life of the cooking oil and improves its appearance and taste.
Filtration of beverages: Activated carbon is utilized to remove off-flavors, odors, and undesirable compounds from beverages, such as alcoholic beverages, coffee, tea, and fruit juices. It helps improve the sensory characteristics of the beverages, making them more palatable and enjoyable to consumers.
