Phycocyanin specifications
Organic Phycocyanin Powder
Organic phycocyanin powder is a water soluble pigment-protein complex. It is obtained by extracting and purifying the pigment obtained from organically cultivated blue green algae. The purification process of any biotechnological product generally involves precipitation, centrifugation, ultra filtration, or combinations of these steps. Final steps often involve gel filtration, drying, crystallization, or freeze-drying of the product of interest. The purification process holds major share of the production cost. The high cost of large scale extraction and purification of intracellular pigments is acting as a key restraint for the growth of the global organic phycocyanin powder market.
Phycocyanin powder E6 E18 E25 E40 are all available, and the E number refers to absorbance ratio value, the higher value means higher content of phycocyanin.
