Halal Verified Phycocyanin Powder as Natural Blue Coloring for Confectionery
We supply halal verified Phycocyanin powder as natural blue clorant for Confectionery. Phycocyanin (PC), also known as phycocyanin, is mainly found in cyanobacteria and is a natural nutrient. It is a kind of light-harvesting pigment protein phycobiliprotein, which has a molecular weight of about 30kD and consists of two subunits. The carrier protein is linked to the open-chain pyrrole chromophore by covalent bond, so it can efficiently capture light energy and absorb it. The spectrum is 615~ 640nm, providing energy for photosynthesis of algae.

What is phycocyanin powder ?
The phycocyanin can be extracted from spirulina (Arthrospira spp.). The extraction method is obtained by freeze-thawing and sonication of phosphate buffer, ammonium sulfate precipitation to obtain crude phycocyanin extract, and then passing through two hydroxyapatite columns ( Hydroxylpatite, HA) chromatography yielded higher purity phycocyanin.
According to research, phycocyanin has a variety of biological functions, including anti-coagulation, inhibition of inflammation, regulation of immune antioxidants, anti-allergy and anti-tumor.
At the same time, phycocyanin has the advantage of being highly water-soluble, non-toxic, well-colored and containing a large number of easily absorbable amino acids. The phycocyanin has been widely used in food coloring agents, health care products and animal feed.
