Color adjustment is one of the primary requirements in producing a perfect wine. Carbokarn contributes to this age old art with specialized products for color adjustment applications in the wine industry. Our products demonstrate engineered pore structures to adsorb molecules of a wide breath of diameters and molecular weights contributing to dark as well as pale colors. In addition, these products show inherent adsorption properties which remove organics and other contaminants in the liquor which can disrupt the fine palate aesthetic of wine. These precise adsorption capabilities together with excellent filtration characteristics and high purity complying with standards of the Food Chemical Codex ensure that Carbokarn Activated Carbon is your ideal partner for adsorption requirements in the production of fine wines.

Alcoholic beverages and spirits is an industry with distinct as well as large scale purification requirements, especially for the removal of contaminant colored compounds. Carbokarn Activated Carbon Food & Beverage product series is geared to tackle these colored contaminants as well as other compounds contributing to undesired smells and tastes, enhancing the desirability and aesthetics of these beverages. Our products are tailor made for decolorization applications in spirits, structured to remove high molecular weight colored bodies, dark colors, pale colors and low molecular weight color precursors. Carbokarn activated carbons for this application are of high purity complying with standards of the Food Chemical Codex.


Purification of fruit juices to reduce mycotoxins, particularly Patulin in apple juice levels has been an area of focus for Carbokarn. We offer carbon solutions for mycotoxin reduction applications combined together with excellent decolorizing and filtration characteristics. For decolorization, Carbokarn products are engineered to capture the complete spectrum of compound contributing to undesired colors through removing high molecular weight colored bodies, dark colors, pale colors and low molecular weight color precursors. In addition our products are geared to remove VOCs, other organic contaminants, HMFs, aromatics including PAHs as well as compounds tarnishing taste and smell aesthetics of fruit juices.

Carbokarn offers a range of products that makes a special impact in the beverage and bottled water industry. Geared to ensure correct taste, color and smell, our product range includes superior powdered and granular carbons specifically designed to retain the organoleptic character of the beverage. The unparalleled adsorptive capacity together with the excellent filtration characteristics enables our products to effectively capture color precursors and other low, medium and high molecular weight organics. The lower dechlorination half values of the products contribute to faster and efficient removal of residual chlorines and chloramines as well as possible reaction products such as trihalomethanes. The superior features of having a low dust and ash content, absence of heavy metal contaminants such as Arsenic and inherent hardness of the granular products have made Carbokarn Activated Carbon the preferred industry choice of beverage and bottle water giants.



Carbokarn Food & Beverage product series offers total purification solutions for diverse array of food additives and supplements production including corn syrup, scrap sugar, sugar, candy, glucose, gelatin, glycerin and monosodium glutamate (MSG) production. The characteristic distributions of micro, meso and macro pores of these products together with high purity and adsorption characteristics allows robust adsorption of a wide range of contaminant chemicals, undesired colored compounds, carcinogens, HMS as well as other organic contaminants and inorganic compounds. Our carbons with optimum iodine, methylene blue and molasses figures demonstrate effective color and smell removal capabilities. Carbokarn activated carbons complying with Food Chemical Codex requirements and consistent performance from batch to batch and over the lifecycle of the carbon is your ideal purification solution.


Edible oils which mainly comprises of vegetable oil, coconut oil, food oils and marine oils are usually contaminated with carcinogenic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), Heavy Poly Nucleic Aromatics (HPNA), persistent organic pollutants such as dioxins, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB), pesticides and herbicides. Carbokarn offers a tailor made product range of Powder Activated Carbons (PAC) for the purification of these oils. Our carbons with optimum iodine, methylene blue and molasses figures demonstrate effective color and smell removal capabilities and consistent adsorption of other contaminant molecular species. Our products manufactured as per the standards of the Food Chemical Codex (FCC) are of high purity and filterability, being the ideal solution for your edible oil purification requirements. Carbokarn’s recommended product range is suitable for the purification of coconut oil, olive oil, fish oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, palm/palm kernel oil as well as soybean oil.

Carbokarn has developed a range of products that can be used at a consumer level to decaffeinate tea as well as regular off-the-shelf coffee and green coffee beans while producing a range of carbons for industrial level production of low caffeine products. At a consumer level these food grade carbon products can be incorporated as a layer on the filter paper and/or packaged into sachets that can be added to the brewed tea or coffee. The reduction in caffeine content, depending on contact time, can vary from 40%-60%. Our product range is customizable for the exact method of decaffeination use, be it through the water extraction process, carbon dioxide decaffeination or solvent decaffeination.
