About Phycocyanin Powder

Phycocyanin

PC is found in cyanobacteria, Rhodophyceae, and Cryptophyceae and is called C-PC and R-PC according to the species. R-PC is a minor pigment in red microalgae.

Spirulina platensisis grown and harvested for its nutrient content. The dried and ground material contains 60% protein, 24% carbohydrate, 8% fat, and some vitamins and minerals. Spirulina is sold as a dietary supplement for humans and feed for some chickens and farmed fish. However, the safety of spirulina has come into question due to the possible presence of microcystin, a toxin produced by the bacteria. Spirulina may also contain heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. Microcystin toxins are commonly encountered in lakes and marine environments as a result of algal blooms. Microcystin toxins kill fish and cause health problems for those swimming in contaminated waters. In food, purified phycocyanin is one of few natural compounds that provides a blue color.

Natural & Safe Blue Colorant

Phycocyanin Powder is one of the few natural compounds available for imparting a vivid blue hue to foods and beverages. Unlike synthetic dyes, it is derived from algae and carefully purified to ensure it is free from microcystin toxins, making it safe for both consumption and application in cosmetic and nutraceutical products.

Excellent Solubility and Purity

This powder boasts 100% purity and dissolves effortlessly in water, yielding a consistent and appealing blue color without clumping or uneven distribution. Rigorous solubility tests confirm its suitability for various formulations, ranging from flavored drinks to confections and supplements.

FAQs of Phycocyanin Powder:

Q: How should Phycocyanin Powder be used as a flavoring agent?
