Eautec Colour Precipitants for Juice/SyrupTreatment Programme
- Colour precipitants are chemical agents used in the sugar industry to remove unwanted colour
- compounds from juice or syrup during sugar processing. These compounds help clarify the
- juice by causing the coloured impurities to precipitate (settle out), making the final sugar
- product lighter in colour and higher in purity.
- Common Colour Precipitants:
- Phosphoric acid and lime (used together in phosphatation)
- Sulphur dioxide (used in sulphitation)
- Polyaluminium chloride or polymeric coagulants
