Oxidation Resistance Blue Pigment Phycocyanin Powder Spirulina Extract E18

Oxidation Resistance Blue Pigment Phycocyanin Powder Spirulina Extract E18

Product Information

Blue Spirulina is a kind of blue powder that is extracted from Spirulina Platensis. It is a water soluble pigment-protein complex.
Spirulina extract phycocyanin is edible pigment applied in food and beverages, it is also an excellent nutritional material for dietary supplements, and it is used in pharmaceuticals due to its antitumor and antianaphylaxis effects, besides it is added to cosmetics products because of antioxidant property.

Phycocyanin is a characteristic light blue colour, absorbing orange and red light, particularly near 620 nm (depending on which specific type it is), and emits fluorescence at about 650 nm (also depending on which type it is).

Allophycocyanin absorbs and emits at longer wavelengths than Phycocyanin C or Phycocyanin R. Phycocyanins are found in Cyanobacteria (previously called blue-green algae). Phycobiliproteins have fluorescent properties that are used in immunoassay kits.

Function and Application of Phycocyanin

Phycocyanin is a kind of dark blue pigment extracted from blue-green algae. It is one of the rare pigment proteins in nature. It is not only bright in color, but also a nutrient-rich protein with complete amino acid composition and high essential amino acid content. It is not only a kind of protein, but also an excellent natural food pigment, and has the health effects of anti-oxidation, anti-tumor, anti-radiation, and blood nourishment.

Phycocyanin is a water-soluble pigment, non-toxic, pure blue, clear and lovely, can be used as food coloring agent, cosmetics additives. Moreover, it is a very rich protein with complete amino composition, and essential amino acids account for 37.2% of the total.

Phycocyanin has been shown to stimulate erythropoietin (EPO) in vitro, similar to erythropoietin. Cycocyanin can help regulate the synthesis of a variety of important enzymes needed by the human body, which plays an important role in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and promoting the regeneration of human cells. Meanwhile, it can also regulate the human immune system, enhance the function of the immune system, and improve the resistance of the human body to diseases.

Phycocyanin blue and fluorescent, can be used as biology, cytology and some of the photodynamic research reagent. It can also be used as a biochemical marker.

Phycocyanin is the blue pigment in blue-green algae. In living algal cells, phycocyanin is a protein storage unit and antioxidant that protects cells from damage at certain wavelengths.

Phycocyanin activates the production of red blood cells in the body, allowing oxygen to be delivered to all parts of the body more smoothly. Proper oxygenation helps to produce charge of energy.
