Applications in the Food Industry
Decolorization and Odor Removal
Activated carbon is widely used for food decolorization, especially in sugar, fruit juice, edible oil and so on. It removes impurities and pigments and improves the appearance and quality of the product. It is also capable of removing odors from food products, improving taste and food acceptability.
Beverage Purification
In beverage production, activated carbon is employed to remove organic compounds, chlorine, and other impurities, enhancing the purity and flavor of beverages.
Preservation and Freshness
Activated carbon adsorbs volatile organic compounds from food, extending the shelf life of products. This helps reduce food oxidation and spoilage, preserving the freshness of food items.
Applications in the Brewing Industry
Alcohol and Liquor Purification
During brewing processes, activated carbon is used to remove impurities, pigments, and off-flavors from alcoholic beverages. This contributes to the overall quality and taste of the final product.
Residual Chemical Removal
Some brewing processes involve the use of chemicals such as tartaric acid. Activated carbon can be employed to remove residues of these chemicals, ensuring the purity of the brewing product.
Taste and Flavor Adjustment
Activated carbon aids in fine-tuning the taste and flavor profiles of brewing products, achieving a balanced and refined end product.
