Sodium copper chlorophyllin (SCC) is a natural pigment extracted from Silkworm faeces or Alfalfa with modern biotechnology. It is a water-soluble and bright green mixture derived from natural chlorophyll that has potential antimutagenic and antioxidant properties. This compound is used as a food colorant and supplement.
SCC of the commercial-grade is prepared from a reaction between a crude chlorophyll extract and methanolic sodium hydroxide, followed by replacement of the central magnesium atom with a heavy metal (Sodium copper chlorophyllin is derived through the process of alkaline hydrolysis where the magnesium atom is replaced with sodium and copper).
