Decolorization & extraction of riboflavin from lactose

Targeted removal of colorants for high-purity end products

During the production and purification of lactose, the riboflavin (vitamin B2) contained in the raw product often results in an undesirable yellowish inherent coloration, which can affect the quality and purity of the end product. Targeted decoloration is therefore a crucial step in obtaining high-quality, virtually colourless lactose, as required in the food and pharmaceutical industries, for example.

Our process makes it possible to either extract the riboflavin specifically according to your requirements or to remove it from the product stream and discard it. We rely on proven and innovative technologies such as adsorption and ion exchange resins or special filtration processes to ensure maximum product protection and maximum flexibility.
