Food Grade Spirulina Powder

What is Food Grade Spirulina Powder?

Spirulina is a kind of photosynthetically oxygenated, spiral-shaped prokaryotic filamentous cyanobacteria, which is rich in proteins (especially cyanobacterial proteins), polysaccharides, unsaturated fatty acids, pigments, and other nutrients and physiologically active substances. It has a wide range of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune regulation effects, making it a natural nutritious, and nutritious health food.

Food Grade Spirulina Powder supplied by Green Spring Technology is made from fresh Spirulina through spray drying, sieving, and sterilization. Pure Spirulina Powder is dark green and smooth to the touch, while Spirulina that has not been sieved or other substances added will have a rough feel.

Green Spring Technology is a leading biotechnology company in China, which was established in 2000 and has been dedicated to the research and development of supplying high-quality plant extracts. It organizes its production following ISO, HACCP, and other quality standards. Our products are manufactured following the highest international industry standards, such as EU EC396, and EU 2023/915. Green Spring has established a perfect traceability system for all its products.

Benefits:

Prevention of Gastrointestinal Diseases

Most gastric patients have excessive stomach acid, leading to gastritis, gastric ulcers, and other stomach diseases. Spirulina is an alkaline food, together with its chlorophyll, beta-carotene and rich proteins are extremely effective in cell repair, regeneration, and normal secretion in the digestive tract, especially for atrophic gastritis, which is a unique treatment.

Anti-Radiation

The mechanism of spirulina's anti-radiation is related to the following factors: (1) Spirulina contains a large amount of algal blue protein and algal polysaccharide, rich in protein and a variety of vitamins (vitamin C and vitamin E, etc.), β-carotene and trace elements (selenium, zinc and iron, etc.) and other biologically active components, increase the body's immune function, alleviate and mitigate the inhibitory effect of radiation on the immune system. (2) Spirulina has a strong antioxidant effect, which can enhance the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the body and capture free radicals, thereby reducing the formation of radiation-promoted free radicals resulting in DNA damage. (3) Spirulina is rich in iron, vitamin B12, and chlorophyll, which can promote hematopoiesis and alleviate and reduce the inhibition of bone marrow hematopoiesis caused by radiation.

Aids in the Treatment of Anaemia

Spirulina contains 20 times more iron than spinach. Iron is mainly an anti-anaemic element, provides cellular oxygen, and has antioxidant, anti-infection, and aging properties. Taking green spirulina to replenish blood and strengthen the body is very ideal.

Skincare:

Spirulina contains a large number of chlorophyll, β-carotene, γ-linolenic acid, and a variety of vitamins, which can inhibit the growth of bacteria, promote the metabolism of skin cells, increase cellular vitality, regulate fat metabolism, promote the excretion of toxic substances through the skin, and have the role of eliminating toxins in the body and removing enterotoxins. Spirulina can also effectively correct the body's endocrine system disorders. Therefore, spirulina can reduce skin chloasma, acne, and age spots, promote hair growth, and prevent hair follicle aging and skin dryness, so that the skin maintains elasticity, luster, and redness.

Prevention of Hyperlipidaemia

Spirulina contains a large number of unsaturated fatty acids, of which linoleic acid and linolenic acid accounted for 45% of the total fatty acids, both of which constitute an important component of phospholipids in the mitochondria of the cell membrane, which can prevent the accumulation of total cholesterol and triglycerides in the liver, blood vessels, to avoid damage to the normal physiological function of the cardiovascular system.

Applications:

In the Food Field:

Spirulina powder is rich in proteins and minerals, so it is widely used in biscuits and other snack foods. Currently, algae such as Spirulina powder and Chlorella powder have been added and used as a source of protein, antioxidants and bioactive molecules in some of the promoted wheat biscuits at 2 per cent and 6 per cent, respectively, and the addition of 6 per cent of Spirulina and Chlorella also significantly increased the protein content and antioxidant properties of the food.

In Pharmaceutical:

Spirulina protein in the most health benefits for the algae bile protein, by the protein to cysteine and open-chain tetrapyridyl casein - phycobiliprotein chromophore to covalent bond together with the pigment protein, is a water-soluble protein, accounting for about 15% -25% of the dry weight of the cell, with the enhancement of the human immune system, inhibition of cancer, slow aging and other efficacy, but also able to serve as a good fluorescent active substances It can also be used in fluorescent diagnosis, tumour phototherapy agents, as a new generation of fluorescent probes to provide new diagnostic means for certain diseases. Therefore, it has high application value in the field of medical treatment, health care products and cosmetics.

For Feed Product:

Spirulina powder, as a feed additive for fish and shrimp, can improve their growth rate and disease resistance. After adding Spirulina to the feed of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco, the body colour of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco was improved, and the antioxidant capacity and disease resistance were increased at the same time. The scholars added a certain concentration of Spirulina to the feed of the sea bass, which not only significantly promoted the growth rate of the sea bass, but also increased the activity of intestinal protease, enhanced the immunity and antioxidant capacity of the sea bass.
