Wholesale Organic Food Grade Blue Spirulina Phycocyanin Powder for Sale
Product Description
Phycocyanin is a radiant pigment from the illustrious light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, which includes allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin. It serves as an accessory pigment complementing chlorophyll's role. Uniquely, all phycobiliproteins are water-soluble, unlike carotenoids that reside within membranes. Phycocyanin aggregates into clusters known as phycobilisomes, which gracefully adhere to the membrane.

Phycocyanin, the vivid bluish pigment, empowers blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) to harness sunlight for photosynthesis.
Comprising up to 20% of the protein in cyanobacteria, it seamlessly integrates with photosynthetic membranes.
Acts as a nitrogen reservoir molecule. Remarkably, phycocyanin is metal-free and a highly stable protein.
Phycocyanin potentially serves as a robust antioxidant, effectively neutralizing OH and RO radicals.
It demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties that rival certain NSAIDs and positively influences liver lipid peroxidation.
Pigments such as C-phycocyanin and Allophycocyanin, derived from phycocyanin, boast fluorescent characteristics.
These properties hold immense value for researchers, especially in immunoassay kits, due to their selective cell attachment.
Beyond research, phycocyanin is cherished as a natural colorant in foods and cosmetics, celebrated for its safety.
