CAS 97659-67-1

Chlorophyllins, copper complexes, sodium salts

Description:

Chlorophyllins, copper complexes, sodium salts, identified by CAS number 97659-67-1, are water-soluble derivatives of chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants. These compounds are characterized by their bright green color and are often used as food colorants and dietary supplements due to their antioxidant properties. The presence of copper in these complexes enhances their stability and solubility in aqueous solutions, making them more bioavailable compared to natural chlorophyll. Chlorophyllins are known for their potential health benefits, including detoxification properties and the ability to bind to certain toxins and heavy metals, thereby facilitating their excretion from the body. Additionally, they may exhibit antimicrobial activity and contribute to the overall health of the digestive system. In food applications, chlorophyllins are utilized not only for their coloring properties but also for their ability to improve the visual appeal of products. However, as with any additive, it is essential to consider regulatory guidelines and safety assessments when using chlorophyllins in food and pharmaceutical products.
