Food & Beverage
Puragen helps food and beverage manufacturers maintain product quality, safety and compliance, with activated carbon products that purify process water, control odors and remove contaminants from foodstuffs like edible oils, cane sugar and beverage ingredients.
Key processes we help with
Puragen’s activated carbon plays a critical role ensuring water, air and ingredients are compliant with safety and purity standards.
Puragen’s activated carbon solutions improve product quality and enhance process efficiency across a wide range of food and beverage applications, including:
Activated carbon removes color, odors and impurities from edible oils, including polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Filtering out free fatty acids, peroxides and unwanted pigments boosts quality.
Essential for food production, brewing and beverage manufacturing, activated carbon removes chlorine, organic compounds and unwanted tastes or odors for consistent water quality.
Food processing and fermentation release volatile organic compounds and strong odors. Activated carbon captures these contaminants, helping manufacturers comply with air quality regulations.
Removes color, taste and odor impurities from cane sugar, sucrose, glucose and fructose syrups for high-quality food, confectionery and beverages.
Refines juices, beers, wines and spirits, removing unwanted pigments, off-flavours and volatile compounds to deliver consistent quality and appearance.
Ensures glycerine meets food-grade standards by eliminating impurities, colors and odors.
