Product Introduction
Copper chlorophyll pigment is a natural green pigment derived from chlorophyll. This pigment provides not only color but also some potential health benefits due to its antioxidant properties. It is commonly used as a food coloring agent, particularly in products that require a vibrant green hue, such as candies, beverages, and sauces. In addition to food, copper chlorophyll pigment is utilized in cosmetics and dietary supplements for its appealing color and potential therapeutic effects.
Production Process

The extracted chlorophyll undergoes a transformation process to improve its stability and solubility, often converting it into copper chlorophyllin. This conversion involves the addition of copper salts, resulting in a more stable and water-soluble form of chlorophyll that can be easily used in various applications. After extraction, purification is performed to remove any unwanted substances, ensuring the final product meets quality and safety standards.
