Phycocyanin is a water-soluble pigment-protein gently extracted and purified from premium natural spirulina through purely physical processes such as microfiltration and centrifugation. Utilizing only purified water throughout the entire extraction, it leaves zero chemical solvent residues and perfectly aligns with modern "Clean Label" standards and plant-based health trends. As a rare natural conjugated chromoprotein, it not only delivers a pure, brilliant, and translucent sky-blue hue, but is also rich in high-quality plant proteins and the 8 essential amino acids, making it a globally recognized safe food ingredient and natural colorant.
Physicochemical Properties and Stability:
The product appears as a fine, deep-blue powder with a characteristic mild seaweed aroma. It boasts exceptional water solubility, forming a crystal-clear, vivid blue solution (insoluble in ethanol, organic solvents, and oils), and exhibits a characteristic natural red fluorescence under neutral conditions (with a maximum absorption peak at 618 nm). With an isoelectric point (pI) of approximately 3.4, it demonstrates superior stability in weakly acidic to neutral ranges (pH 4.5–8.0). Since it is sensitive to light, heat, and strongly acidic environments, prolonged exposure to intense light and high-temperature processing should be avoided to maintain optimal color vibrancy and bioactivity.
Applications:
Featuring brilliant, pure coloration and outstanding tinting strength, this product series is widely utilized across diverse industries, including modern ready-to-drink tea beverages and functional drinks, dairy and frozen foods, healthy confectionery, premium cosmetics/personal care, and low-alcohol trendy beverages.
