Product Description

Basic Information
PRODUCT NAME: Phycocyanin Powder/Spirulina blue
GRADE: Food grade
PART USED: Whole part
TEST METHOD: UV
ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Phycocyanin, protein
APPEARANCE: Blue powder
Phycocyanin/Spirulina blue is the main part of the spirulina blue color.It is protein combined pigment,has the same character with protein.We can see blue granule or powder with our naked eyes.It is water-soluble. It is absolute a natural pigment abstracted from the sporus of Spirulina Arthorspira platenis by modern biotechnology.

Function
Phycocyanin is a pigment from the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, along with allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin. It is an accessory pigment to chlorophyll. All phycobiliproteins are water-soluble and therefore cannot exist within the membrane as do carotenoids, but aggregate forming clusters that adhere to the membrane called phycobilisomes.
Phycocyanin is a characteristic light blue colour, absorbing orange and red light, particularly near 620 nm (depending on which specific type it is), and emits fluorescence at about 650 nm (also depending on which type it is).
Allophycocyanin absorbs and emits at longer wavelengths than Phycocyanin C or Phycocyanin R. Phycocyanins are found in Cyanobacteria (previously called blue-green algae). Phycobiliproteins have fluorescent properties that are used in immunoassay kits.

Application
1. Applied in health care product, phycocyanin powder used as raw materials;
2. Applied in food field, phycocyanin powder used as pigments, food additives of seasoning;
3. Applied in pharmaceutical field, phycocyanin powder used as raw materials for anti-inflammatory and regulating menstruation.
