What Is Sodium Copper Chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is the naturally occurring green pigment responsible for light absorption in plants during photosynthesis. In its natural state, chlorophyll presents as a dark green substance, most commonly extracted from plant sources such as mulberry leaves. Natural chlorophyll powder is soluble in ethanol, diethyl ether, acetone, vegetable oils, and various other organic solvents, but it is notably insoluble in water.
Due to the inherent instability of natural chlorophyll and its limited water solubility, a semi-synthetic derivative known as chlorophyllin is widely used as a more practical alternative in commercial applications. Chlorophyllin is produced by replacing the magnesium ion in the chlorophyll molecule with copper and converting it into a water-soluble sodium salt form.
The most commercially prevalent and widely utilized form of this derivative is Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin — also commonly referred to as sodium copper chlorophyll. This compound retains the vibrant green coloration of natural chlorophyll while offering significantly enhanced water solubility, greater thermal stability, and improved resistance to light degradation, making it far more suitable for industrial formulation environments.
Active Compound & Chemical Profile
Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin is classified as a chlorophyll derivative in which the central magnesium atom has been substituted with a copper ion, and the phytol and methanol groups have been removed through saponification to yield a water-soluble sodium salt. This structural modification is what accounts for its superior stability and functionality compared to natural chlorophyll.
Key chemical characteristics include:
- Appearance: Dark green fine powder (powder form) or dark green viscous liquid (liquid form)
- Solubility: Freely soluble in water; the powder form disperses readily in aqueous systems
- pH Stability: Stable across a moderate pH range, making it suitable for a variety of formulation environments
- Thermal Stability: Significantly more heat-stable than natural chlorophyll extracts
- Light Stability: Enhanced resistance to photodegradation compared to native chlorophyll pigments
- CAS Number: 28302-05-8

Industry Application Sectors
Food & Beverage Industry
Sodium Copper Chlorophyll is widely approved as a natural food colorant (E141(ii)) in many international markets. It is used in beverages, confectionery, dairy products, sauces, condiments, and processed foods where a stable green hue is desired without the use of synthetic colorants.
Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals
As a functional ingredient, it is formulated into capsules, tablets, soft gels, liquid supplements, and powdered drink mixes. Its water solubility and bioavailability advantages make it particularly suitable for liquid and effervescent supplement formats targeting detox, antioxidant, and digestive wellness categories.
Cosmetics & Personal Care
The pigment and antioxidant profile of sodium copper chlorophyllin make it suitable for use in skincare formulations, facial masks, serums, hair care products, and color cosmetics seeking a natural green tint. It is also incorporated into deodorants and oral hygiene products for its deodorizing capabilities.
Pharmaceuticals & Topical Preparations
Sodium copper chlorophyllin has a documented history of use in pharmaceutical-grade wound care products, ointments, and preparations targeting skin ulcers and chronic wounds.
Textile & Industrial Dyeing

Source Material & Extraction Process
The natural chlorophyll used as the starting material for sodium copper chlorophyllin production is extracted from high-quality plant biomass, including mulberry leaves and other chlorophyll-rich plant sources. The extraction process involves solvent-based isolation of chlorophyll, followed by controlled saponification and transmetalation — replacing the natural magnesium center with copper — and subsequent conversion to a sodium salt form via neutralization. This multi-step semi-synthetic process is conducted under tightly controlled manufacturing conditions to ensure consistent purity, color value, and chemical composition across every production batch.
