Activated Carbon Production in the Food and Beverage Decolourisation Industry
Ensuring product quality is paramount in the food and beverage industry, as it involves the continuous refinement of processes to eliminate impurities and contaminants. Activated carbon plays a critical role in this effort, offering one of the most effective solutions for removing undesirable odours, tastes, and colours from food and beverages.
How Activated Carbon Enhances Food and Beverage Processing
Bygen’s activated carbon products stand out for their high quality, sustainability, and exceptional adsorption capabilities. The porous structure of activated carbon traps dyes, organic impurities, and contaminants through adsorption, making it an invaluable tool for decolourisation and filtration in the food and beverage sector.
Key Benefits include:
Decolourisation
Activated carbon removes large organic molecules, including dyes, by adsorbing them onto its porous surface via Van der Waals forces. This process enhances the visual clarity and shelf life of products like raw sugar and fruit juices.
Odour and Taste Removal
Unpleasant odours and undesirable tastes caused by fermentation by-products or other impurities are efficiently eliminated, improving the sensory quality of beverages such as wine.
Contaminant Filtration
Harmful residues, including pesticides and mycotoxins, are adsorbed, ensuring product safety and compliance with stringent regulatory standards.
Types of Activated Carbon
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
GAC’s larger granules make it ideal for continuous filtration processes in fixed-bed systems. Its extended contact time with liquids ensures efficient adsorption of impurities.
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
PAC, with its finer particles, is designed for batch treatments, offering rapid adsorption of contaminants. It is particularly effective in applications where precise dosing is required, or batch treatment is necessary.
