Phycocyanin powder

Phycocyanin Powder is a natural blue pigment derived from Spirulina, a cyanobacterium widely cultivated for its valuable bioactive compounds. Its main component, C-phycocyanin, delivers a distinctive blue color and exhibits antioxidant activity. The freeze-dried powder comes in different purity grades, including E16, E18, and E25, to meet specific application requirements. Formulators use phycocyanin in natural color systems, cosmetic products, functional foods, and nutraceutical applications, subject to applicable regulations. Its fluorescent properties also support specialized applications in biotechnology and analytical research. This versatile ingredient combines natural-origin coloration with functional properties for innovative product development.
