Description

Copperchlorphyllin is a stable, water-soluble derivative of chlorophyll where the central magnesium ion is replaced by copper. This modification enhances its stability and color properties, making it a valuable pigment and functional ingredient. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical industries for its natural green coloring and potential bioactive benefits. The compound is identified by CAS No. 28849-57-2.

Application

• Food Coloring Agent: Used as a natural green colorant in beverages, confectionery, dairy products, and canned vegetables.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into creams, lotions, soaps, and shampoos for its coloring and purported skin-conditioning properties.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Utilized in health supplements for its antioxidant characteristics and as a source of bioavailable copper complexes.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Employed in certain medicinal ointments and oral formulations for both color and functional purposes.
• Industrial Dyes: Serves as a natural dye in non-food applications where a stable green pigment is required.
