Food and Beverage Industries
Purification of (ingredients for) foods and beverages has always been a core focus for NORIT® activated carbon. Indeed, we serve a vast array of applications in food and beverage industries. There is too much to mention here, but these are some of our main applications:
Edible oils
Edible oils are treated with our benchmark NORIT PAH grades, to remove polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other trace impurities.
Starch based sweeteners
Starch based sweeteners and their derivatives are purified with NORIT activated carbons at various stages of their production.
Sugar
Cane Sugar and liquid sugars are treated with dedicated types of NORIT activated carbon.
Juices and alcoholic drinks
Juices, beers, wines, and liquors often thank their taste and appeal to NORIT activated carbons.
Black food colorant (E 153)
Vegetable activated carbon food colorant in Europe also known as ‘E 153’, is used to create black foods from licorice to ice cream in most parts of the world.
