Product details
Phycocyanin, a dark blue powder isolated from spirulina, is a pigment protein complex that, together with ectophycocyanin and phycoglobin, belongs to the light-collecting phycobilin family. It is a copigment of chlorophyll. Phycocyanin powder is a natural, water-soluble and non-toxic food pigment extracted from spirulina. It is characterized by a bright blue color, absorbs orange and red light, especially near 620nm, and fluoresces at around 652nm. Phycocyanin powder is one of the rare pigment proteins in nature, which is not only bright in color, but also a nutrient-rich protein with complete amino acid composition and high essential amino acid content. Phycocyanin has the physiological activity of improving immunity and scavenging free radicals. At the beginning of the 21st century, phycocyanin was widely used as a high-level natural pigment in food and cosmetics, and was made into biochemical drugs in the United States, Japan and other countries. Due to its strong fluorescence properties, phycocyanin powder can also be used as a fluorescence probe for photodynamic studies in biology and cytology.

Application
Blue spirulina is a natural blue food pigment phycocyanin. Mixed with red, yellow, and other colorants, green, purple, and other neutral colors can be obtained. Blue spirulina fully complies with food dyeing regulations in the European Union, the United States, Japan, South Korea and other Asian countries. Like chlorophyll and carotenoids, phycocyanin is involved in photosynthesis. It is an antioxidant and has other important properties that support a healthy lifestyle. Phycocyanin is a water-soluble pigment, non-toxic, pure blue, clear and lovely, and can be used as a food coloring agent and cosmetic additive. Can be widely used in food coloring, such as ice cream, smoothies, soft candies, beverages, baking, etc., it is a natural blue, so consumption does not have any side effects on the human body, and your tongue will not turn blue.
Phycocyanin is also used in medical and health food. Spirulina cyanobacteriae is not only a high-quality plant protein, but also a good nutritional and health raw material. The amino acid composition of phycocyanin is closest to the essential amino acid composition of human body, and it is also the natural substance with the strongest antioxidant capacity and the widest range of antioxidant among water-soluble raw materials. A variety of phycocyanin compound drugs have been successfully developed abroad, which has the function of promoting immunity and anti-disease. In 1986, Schwartz and Shklar of Harvard Hospital in the United States found that spirulina phycocyanin had an inhibitory effect on some cancer cells.
Special reagents for biological, chemical and cytological experiments: phycocyanin is blue and fluorescent, and can be used as a photodynamic research reagent in biology and cytology.
