Why Choose Greenherb Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin Powder

• Water-Soluble Green Pigmentation – Unlike lipid-soluble chlorophyll, our sodium copper chlorophyllin delivers complete water dispersibility, enabling uniform green coloring across aqueous food systems, liquid supplements, and water-phase cosmetic formulations without additional solubilization steps.
• Enhanced Color Stability – The copper ion substitution within the porphyrin ring structure replaces the magnesium ion of natural chlorophyll, significantly improving resistance to heat, light, and acidic conditions that would otherwise cause rapid color degradation in unmodified chlorophyll.
• Plant-Derived Raw Material Base – The production process begins with chlorophyll extracted from green plant biomass, providing a natural botanical origin for the colorant that supports clean-label positioning in markets where plant-derived ingredient sources are a formulation priority.
• Defined Purity Specification – Each production batch is analytically verified against defined copper content, chlorophyllin purity, and color value specifications, ensuring consistent performance and regulatory compliance for food additive and supplement applications.
• Controlled Saponification Process – Our alkaline saponification step is precisely managed to achieve complete phytol chain removal without over-processing, producing a well-defined chlorophyllin sodium salt with consistent molecular composition.
• Heavy Metal Profile Verification – Beyond the intentionally incorporated copper, all other heavy metals including lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury are screened by ICP-MS to verify compliance with international food and cosmetic regulatory thresholds.
• Fine Powder Dispersibility – The spray-dried powder format provides rapid dissolution in aqueous systems and direct compatibility with dry blending operations for beverage premixes, capsule fills, and pressed cosmetic powder formulations.
• Comprehensive Regulatory Support – Shipments include COA, MSDS, specification sheets, and copper content certificates to facilitate food additive regulatory submissions and supplement product documentation across global markets.

Certificate of Analysis

Product Introduction

Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin Powder is a semi-synthetic colorant ingredient produced from plant-extracted chlorophyll through a two-stage chemical modification process involving alkaline saponification and copper ion substitution. In the saponification stage, the phytol and methanol groups of native chlorophyll are removed under controlled alkaline conditions, yielding chlorophyllin. In the subsequent metalation stage, the central magnesium ion is replaced with a copper ion, forming the copper chlorophyllin complex that is then neutralized to its sodium salt form for water solubility. The resulting ingredient delivers stable, vivid green pigmentation with substantially improved resistance to heat and light compared to unmodified plant chlorophyll, making it a technically reliable colorant for applications where long-term color stability under processing and storage conditions is a primary formulation requirement.

Production Process

Greenherb employs a validated chemical processing and purification sequence designed to deliver consistent chlorophyllin composition and regulatory-compliant purity:

1. Plant Biomass Sourcing & Inspection – Incoming chlorophyll-rich green plant material is assessed for chlorophyll content, moisture, heavy metal profile, and pesticide residue status before processing authorization.
2. Chlorophyll Extraction – Plant biomass undergoes solvent extraction under controlled conditions to isolate the crude chlorophyll fraction from plant fiber and other biomass components.
3. Saponification – Extracted chlorophyll is treated with an alkaline solution under defined temperature and reaction time parameters to remove phytol and methanol groups, converting native chlorophyll to chlorophyllin.
4. Copper Substitution – Chlorophyllin undergoes controlled copper ion treatment to replace the central magnesium ion with copper, forming the stable copper chlorophyllin complex with improved color fastness.
5. Neutralization & Salt Formation – The copper chlorophyllin complex is neutralized to form the sodium salt, converting the ingredient to its water-soluble sodium copper chlorophyllin form.
6. Purification & Filtration – The reaction product undergoes multi-stage purification and filtration to remove reaction byproducts, residual reagents, and insoluble matter, achieving the target purity specification.
7. Spray Drying – Purified sodium copper chlorophyllin solution is spray-dried to produce a uniform free-flowing dark green powder with controlled moisture and particle size.
8. Quality Release Testing – Finished powder is tested for copper content, chlorophyllin purity, color value, moisture, heavy metals, and microbiological compliance before batch release authorization.
9. Protective Packaging – Powder is sealed in double-layer PE inner bags with desiccants, packed within light-proof fiber drums to protect color stability during storage and transit.

Functional Properties & Benefits

As a water-soluble plant-derived colorant, Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin Powder offers distinct functional characteristics relevant to food, supplement, and cosmetic formulation:

• Stable Green Coloring Across Processing Conditions – The copper-substituted porphyrin structure maintains green pigmentation through pasteurization, moderate baking temperatures, and extended shelf storage conditions where natural chlorophyll would undergo rapid pheophytinization and color loss.
• Broad pH Color Stability – Sodium copper chlorophyllin maintains acceptable green color across a wider pH range than unmodified chlorophyll, supporting application in mildly acidic to neutral food and beverage systems.
• Body Freshness & Deodorizing Applications – Incorporated into oral care and personal hygiene supplement formulations, sodium copper chlorophyllin is used in products designed to support internal body freshness and contribute to a clean, comfortable daily hygiene routine.
• Digestive Comfort Support – Used in wellness supplement formulations, the ingredient contributes to products designed to support digestive comfort and promote a balanced internal environment during daily routine.
• Skin Tone & Complexion Support – Applied in topical and ingestible beauty formulations, sodium copper chlorophyllin contributes to products designed to support an even, refreshed skin appearance and promote a healthy-looking complexion.
• Clean-Label Green Colorant Alternative – Plant botanical origin and established food additive regulatory status position sodium copper chlorophyllin as a recognized alternative to synthetic green dyes in markets where consumers and regulators prioritize defined-origin colorant ingredients.

Applications

Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin Powder is utilized across diverse commercial formulation categories requiring a stable, water-soluble natural-derived green colorant:

Food & Beverage Manufacturing Water-soluble green colorant for confectionery coatings, hard candy, beverages, ice cream, and processed food systems where heat-stable, pH-tolerant green pigmentation from a plant-derived source meets food additive regulatory requirements.
