Food Grade Blue Spirulina Phycocyanin Powder Phycocyanin Tablet Pigment
Product Description
Phycocyanin is a vibrant pigment belonging to the esteemed light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, alongside notable members such as allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin. Acting as an accessory pigment to chlorophyll, these phycobiliproteins are distinctively water-soluble, differing from membrane-dwelling carotenoids. Instead, they form aggregate clusters known as phycobilisomes, which adhere to the membrane.

Phycocyanin, the bluish pigment essential for blue-green algae (or cyanobacteria), plays a crucial role in photosynthesis.
This pigment comprises up to 20% of the protein in cyanobacteria, attaching itself to photosynthesizing membranes.
Functioning as a nitrogen-storing molecule, phycocyanin contains no metal and is celebrated for its remarkable stability.
Moreover, phycocyanin serves as a potent antioxidant, effectively scavenging OH and RO radicals. It may also function
comparably to certain NSAIDs in addressing inflammation and exhibits beneficial effects on liver microsomal lipid peroxidation.
Fluorescent pigments derived from phycocyanin, like C-phycocyanin and Allophycocyanin, offer valuable utility to researchers, particularly
in immunoassay kits. Phycocyanin selectively binds to specific cells, simplifying targeted research endeavors.
Additionally, due to its safety, it is utilized as a natural coloring agent in biological research and various food and cosmetic products.
