Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin Powder: A Stable Natural Green Pigment for Foods and Dietary Supplements
Created on 04.16
The demand for clean-label ingredients and plant-based colors has continued to accelerate worldwide, resulting in increased interest among food manufacturers and nutraceutical producers for sodium copper chlorophyllin powder. New Things Biotech is a leading supplier of botanical ingredients that has been supplying the industry for over ten years and provides a wide range of high quality sodium copper chlorophyllin powderproducts which are produced from natural plant material sources, such as silkworm excrement, clover, alfalfa, and bamboo leaves.
Sodium copper chlorophyllin is basically natural chlorophyll that has been altered to make it water-soluble. The extraction of sodium copper chlorophyllin involves a complete set of steps including the initial selection of the raw materials used to make sodium copper chlorophyllin, then pretreatment, extraction, filtration, saponification, recovery of ethanol, washing with petroleum ether, acidifying and replacing copper, suction filtration and washing with water, dissolving to make salt, filtering, drying, and finally, packaging of the finished product. The sodium copper chlorophyllin will appear as a dark green powder, it will dissolve easily in water and ethanol producing a transparent and bright green liquid. This ingredient delivers superb stability when exposed to either light or heat, thereby providing a dependable option for processing most conditions.
Technical Properties and pH Adaptability
Sodium copper chlorophyllin powder's wide pH adaptability is a major feature of the product. This material has a pH range of 9.5-10.2 in a 1% solution. The product performs very well in neutral to alkaline conditions, whereas acidic conditions (pH < 6.5) may cause precipitation when calcium is present. Most manufacturers use this colour in products with a minimum of acid; if the acid content is higher than that; manufacturers have to alter their recipes to accommodate the colour.
Regulatory Approval and Food Safety
The sodium copper chlorophyllin product has earned approval from both the government of China and other international organizations, who have agreed that it has a natural colorant that is safe to use. It is classified by the Chinese government as a food additive under the national food additive standard GB2760-1996 (Hygienic Standards for Uses of Food Additives). The World Health Organization (WHO) has approved sodium copper chlorophyllin for use in food products. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists sodium copper chlorophyllin as a color additive exempt from certification. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) lists sodium copper chlorophyllin as a safe product for use in a wide range of food applications. All of the above organizations have determined that this ingredient possesses a superior safety record as a food additive ingredient and can be used safely in food, supplement, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.
Applications in Foods and Supplements
Chlorophyllin Sodium Copper powderfinds application in many industries. It has an application in the food industry as a natural green colorant that is added to various types of products. A good example of this would be to produce canned green peas and other types of canned vegetables which retain their bright green color while being processed and stored. Another way the product is utilized is by being added to fruit juices and vegetable juices because it allows them to have a bright, vibrant color without needing to use synthetic coloring. It can be used in the manufacture of frozen desserts (e.g., ice cream) where it will maintain a constant color even though it will be frozen. Candy manufacturers like to use this product when they make candies and chews because it provides them an option to create a product that has great color without having to use artificial colouring.
The dietary supplement industry uses sodium copper chlorophyllin in capsules, tablets, and also in liquid formulas. Health-conscious consumers often link green ingredients to an association with overall wellness or natural-based products; therefore, adding the chlorophyllin derivative helps supplement brands from a functional as well as visual perspective. Personal care/cosmetic uses include skin care products, mouthwashes/toothpaste, and wound care products (calming). As an internal deodorant and as an ingredient in certain external-use medicines, the ingredient is used in medicinal formulations.
The normal range of sodium copper chlorophyllin powder that is recommended for use in food as well as supplements is 0.2-1 part per 1000 (or 0.2% to 1%). When determining which concentration to use for your product and how much of the color you want, small-scale trials should be conducted.
Health Benefits Supported by Scientific Research
Sodium copper chlorophyllin serves as a natural colorant and also has several proven health advantages. Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated the powerful antioxidant nature of sodium copper chlorophyllin. As an antioxidant, copper chlorophyllin has greater antioxidant capacity than does natural chlorophyll. The antioxidant activity of sodium copper chlorophyllin protects cells from oxidative damage and sustains the cellular function.
Sodium copper chlorophyllin modernizes the gut microbiota and provides protection from inflammation. All of these things independently affect the digestive system, as well as affect how the body operates as a whole.
The use of sodium copper chlorophyllin powder as a deodorizer for internal body functions is another well-known purpose of this compound. For over fifty years, the use of sodium copper chlorophyllin for oral consumption as an internal deodorizer to control both body odor and objectionable fecal odors has been well documented and has very few adverse reactions. It is utilized for very good reason in medical facilities, like hospitals and nursing homes, and is important to many people suffering from certain medical conditions.
Additionally, the use of sodium copper chlorophyllin topical products has been demonstrated to aid wounds in healing. It is also helpful because it stimulates the regeneration of new tissue and helps prevent infection, so it has been used in topical cream, ointments, or dressings.
From 2025 started a clinical trial to evaluate the safety of oral sodium copper chlorophyllin which was being administered at doses as high as 3000 mg for human beings for the first time. There were excellent results in terms of the safety and tolerability of the product also, biphasic immunomodulatory effects were observed. The above results allow for the performance of further research to evaluate the potential application of chlorophyllin as both and immunomodulatory and an antiviral agent.
