Chlorophyllin 13% is a water-soluble green colour derived from chlorophyll, the pigment found in plants. It carries the E-number E141(ii) and is used to give foods and beverages a stable green shade, most often in products where natural chlorophyll would fade or separate. As a colour, its job is straightforward: to restore or standardise the green tone that processing, heat or light would otherwise strip away.
Manufacturers typically use it in confectionery, desserts, beverages and other processed foods where a consistent green is wanted. It comes as a water-soluble powder, which makes it easy to incorporate into aqueous systems, though it should be stored dry and away from strong light. Formulators should note that its colour can shift with pH, so trials in the final matrix are worthwhile.
