Description

Chlorophyllincoppercomplexpotassiumsalt CAS NO 28853-00-1 is a water-soluble, semi-synthetic derivative of chlorophyll, where the central magnesium ion is replaced by copper and the phytyl tail is removed, forming a stable, green-colored complex. This modification provides exceptional color stability and bioavailability compared to natural chlorophyll, making it a highly valued ingredient. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries for its dual functionality as a natural colorant and a bioactive compound.

Application

• Food & Beverage Coloring: A stable, natural green colorant for confectionery, dairy products, beverages, ice cream, and pasta.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Used as an active ingredient in capsules, tablets, and powders for its purported antioxidant and deodorizing properties.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Employed in topical ointments, oral care products (mouthwash, toothpaste), and internal deodorants for wound healing and odor control.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Provides natural green pigmentation in soaps, creams, lotions, and bath products.
• Diagnostic & Research Reagents: Utilized in laboratory settings as a fluorescent dye or a biochemical marker.
• Animal Feed Additive: Incorporated to enhance the color of egg yolks or fish flesh.

Quality Control

Our Chlorophyllin Copper Complex Potassium Salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets specifications for identity, purity, and heavy metal content, aligning with standards such as FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and EU directive for food color E141(ii). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, spectrophotometric purity, and microbiological limits is available for every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking and degradation.
