Why is Activated Carbon Essential for Beverage & Fruit Juice Purification

In the production of fruit juices, beer and other beverages, contaminants and impurities can impact the taste, colour and quality. Activated carbon plays an important role in purification and decolourization in beverage production. It helps remove unwanted byproducts, sharpness, colour and odour compounds like soil bacteria. Western Adsorbents & Catalysts provides a range of activated carbon tailored for beverage and fruit juice purification and decolourization applications. Activated carbon is highly effective as a decolourizing and purifying media, delivering high-quality consumables that meet industry standards. 

Activated carbon is used in the food industry for decolourizing, deodorizing and purifying products. In the food and beverage industry, activated carbon needs to comply with food-grade standards to ensure adsorption performance and safety. At Western Adsorbents & Catalysts, as a top activated carbon manufacturer in India, we offer acid washed coconut shell, wood-based, and coal activated carbon specifically designed for purification and decolourization of beverages. 

Fruit juices often consist of natural colours like melanoids and polyphenols. Activated carbon is used to remove these unwanted compounds and other impurities like pesticides, toxins and residues. In popular apple juices, coconut shell activated carbon removes brown colour and precursors that arise after heating the juice. Powder activated carbon enhances the fruit base by getting rid of unwanted colour, flavour and odour, thereby maintaining product quality and extending shelf-life. 

Activated carbon plays an important role in brewing processes. It is also used in removing colour from malts in sodas, carbonated drinks and beers. The excess foam and chill haze can affect carbonated drinks and other beverages. High-purity activated carbon stabilizes beverages and prevents chill haze. Also, activated carbon is used for removing tannic acid and odour removal in the brewing process, through its superior adsorption ability. 

Caffeine is added to food and beverages during the manufacturing process to enhance taste and flavour. Acid washed activated carbon is used to remove caffeine with minimal loss of flavours and other components. 

The brewing of beers and soft drinks needs high-purity water. Granular activated carbon is used to remove traces of contaminants, residual tastes, chlorine, odours and chlromine.
