Description

Source and Extraction Process
Sodium Copper Chlorophyll is derived from natural green plants — primarily alfalfa, spirulina, or silkworm droppings, each rich in chlorophyll. The pigment is obtained through a meticulous multi-step process:
1.Organic Solvent Extraction: chlorophyll is extracted from dried plant matter using food-grade solvents.
2.Saponification: the chlorophyll molecule is stabilized by removing the central magnesium ion and converting it to sodium salt.
3.Copper Substitution Reaction: magnesium is replaced with copper to form sodium copper chlorophyllin, which greatly enhances color stability and solubility.
4.Refinement and Spray-Drying: the pigment is purified and transformed into a fine, free-flowing dark-green powder.
This controlled process results in a bright green, high-purity pigment ideal for both aqueous and semi-aqueous applications.

Key Technical Characteristics
Appearance: dark-green to blackish-green powder
Odor: odorless or faintly ammonia-like
Solubility: easily soluble in water; slightly soluble in ethanol and chloroform
Color Tone: vivid green under neutral or weakly alkaline conditions
Stability: good light and heat stability; hygroscopic but non-volatile
pH Stability: stable from pH 7 – 9; fades in strong acid conditions
Shelf Life: 24 months in cool, dry, sealed storage
Its thermal and photochemical stability makes it suitable for long shelf-life products, while its natural botanical origin supports global clean-label trends.

Application Fields
1.Food & Beverage Industry:Used in a variety of applications where natural green coloration is desired — candies, jelly desserts, canned vegetables, alcoholic beverages, juices, and frozen desserts. It provides a vibrant, stable green hue without imparting flavor.
2.Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements:Applied in tablets, capsules, and functional powders to enhance visual appeal and signify plant-based naturalness. Especially suited for products marketed as detoxifying, antioxidant, or “green nutrition.”
3.Cosmetics & Personal Care:Used as a natural green colorant in skincare gels, shampoos, facial masks, soaps, and decorative cosmetics (lip balms, blush, eye shadows). It adds an appealing green tone and “botanical” marketing value while remaining skin-friendly.
4.Pharmaceuticals:Used in tablet coatings and liquid formulations to replace synthetic dyes (like FD&C Green No. 3), meeting regulatory expectations for natural ingredients.
