Natural Food Ingredient Plant Extract Blue Spirulina Phycocyanin Powder
Product Description
Phycocyanin, a vibrant pigment from the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, stands alongside allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin as an accessory pigment complementing chlorophyll. Unlike carotenoids, these water-soluble phycobiliproteins cannot reside within membranes. Instead, they form clusters, known as phycobilisomes, that ingeniously attach to membranes.

Phycocyanin, the bluish pigment essential to blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), aids in photosynthesis.
It constitutes up to 20% of the protein content in cyanobacteria and adeptly attaches to photosynthesizing membranes.
Functioning as a nitrogen reservoir, phycocyanin is metal-free, ensuring remarkable protein stability.
Phycocyanin may serve as a potent antioxidant, efficiently scavenging harmful OH and RO radicals. It may also exhibit
anti-inflammatory properties comparable to some NSAIDs and positively impacts liver microsomal lipid peroxidation.
Pigments like C-phycocyanin and Allophycocyanin, derived from phycocyanin, are revered for their fluorescent properties,
offering immense value to researchers in immuno-assay kits. Its selective cell attachment simplifies tracking and research.
Furthermore, its application as a coloring agent extends to biological research, foods, and cosmetics, valued for its safety.
