Natural Phycocyanin Powder for Food, Cosmetic and Supplement Applications

Phycocyanin for Bulk Commercial Applications Commercial-scale formulation requires natural colorants that maintain tinctorial strength and structural integrity under processing stress. Extracted from food-grade Spirulina platensis via gentle aqueous separation and multi-stage membrane ultrafiltration, our phycocyanin delivers high purity ratios (A620/A280) and vivid natural blue hues without synthetic additives. Processing parameters—including vacuum freeze-drying and controlled centrifugal spray-drying—preserve the protein's native conformation, ensuring complete solubility in aqueous systems and minimal clumping during dry blending.

Phycocyanin Applications

Functional Food & Beverages

Natural blue tinting for sport drinks, plant-based dairy alternatives, hard candies, and gelatin desserts.

Cosmetic Formulations

Colorant for facial masks, toners, clean-label eye makeup, and antioxidant-rich skincare serums.

Nutritional Supplements

Active ingredient in antioxidant capsules and cellular protection formulations.

Manufacturing & Quality Control

Extraction utilizes food-grade deionized water extraction combined with membrane ultrafiltration to concentrate the pigment while removing cell-wall debris and salts. Thermal exposure is strictly minimized during concentration steps to prevent structural denaturation and color shifting. Final drying occurs via vacuum freeze-drying or controlled centrifugal spray-drying. Every production lot undergoes spectrophotometric analysis (UV-Vis at 620nm and 280nm) and HPLC-MS verification for heavy metals and residual solvents before release. Facilities operate under FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, and HACCP quality management systems.

FAQ

Q: What is the standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for bulk phycocyanin?

A: The MOQ is 5 kg for standard food-grade specifications (E18-E25), and 1 kg for high-purity reagent grades (E40).

Q: How do you ensure stability against light and heat during food processing?

A: Phycocyanin is sensitive to extreme heat (> 60°C) and low pH (< 4.5). We recommend adding it during the cooling phase of processing or combining it with natural stabilizers like trehalose to extend thermal endurance.

Q: What does the absorbance ratio A620/A280 indicate?

A: The A620/A280 ratio measures the purity of the phycocyanin protein relative to other co-extracted proteins. A higher ratio indicates higher purity and concentrated tinctorial strength.

Q: Do you provide a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment?

A: Every delivery includes a COA detailing exact E-value spectrophotometric readings, purity ratios, moisture levels, heavy metal assays, and microbiological counts.

Q: What is the recommended method for dissolving phycocyanin powder?

A: Dissolve the powder in ambient or cool deionized water with gentle agitation. Avoid high-shear mixing or prolonged exposure to high temperatures to prevent foaming and pigment degradation.

Q: What is the shelf life of bulk phycocyanin powder?

A: Unopened containers stored at or below -20°C maintain stability for 24 months. Once opened, the material should be resealed tightly under nitrogen or used promptly as it is hygroscopic.

Q: Are synthetic color additives or chemical solvents used during extraction?

A: No synthetic dyes, organic solvents (such as hexane or acetone), or chemical preservatives are used. Extraction relies strictly on water-based processing and membrane separation.

Q: What are the standard payment terms for commercial supply agreements?

A: Standard terms require T/T (30% advance deposit, 70% balance against copy of Bill of Lading) or confirmed irrevocable Letter of Credit at sight for qualified industrial accounts.
