Factory Supply OEM Private Label 100% Pure Phycocyanin Powder
with Free Sample
Product Description
Phycocyanin is part of the illustrious phycobiliprotein family, which also includes allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin. As an accessory pigment to chlorophyll, it plays an essential role in light absorption. These water-soluble proteins form clusters known as phycobilisomes, adhering beautifully to membranes, unlike carotenoids.
