Organic Phycocyanin Powder

What is Organic Phycocyanin Powder ?

Phycocyanin is a blue photosynthetic pigment protein found in some Spirulina. It is a blue chlorophyll derivative and, along with chlorophyll and carotenoids, is an important photosynthetic pigment in cells. It is responsible for absorbing solar energy and converting it into chemical energy, which supports the life activities of cells.

Phycocyanin powder has important applications in many fields, such as being used as a pigment and nutrient in food, medicine and cosmetics. It is also an important tool in many biological experiments and is widely used in the fields of protein structure, biochemistry and molecular biology.

Organic phycocyanin powder is extracted from organic spirulina and only water is added as an additive throughout. This ingredient has a high content of phycocyanin and can be used as a food colouring in ice cream products.

Green Spring Technology supplies natural organic phycocyanin powder, which is purely extracted from natural marine organisms, has no toxic side effects, contains no radioactivity, and is easily absorbed and utilized by the human body. It has a bright and stable colour and is suitable for coloring various foods and beverages. This organic algal blue protein is the extract of spirulina, extracted by mild physical methods such as concentration, centrifugation, filtration, etc. The whole process only adds water as an additive, with no solvent residue, safe and healthy. This organic phycocyanin powder has excellent water solubility, easy to cross-link with other molecules, and less non-specific adsorption.

Benefits:

Antioxidant

Much literature has shown that phycocyanin has antioxidant activity in scavenging hydroxyl radicals and hydroperoxyl radicals. In addition to this, it has also been reported to have some degree of antioxidant modulation. By establishing a mouse model of adriamycin-induced oxidative damage, some researchers found that the treatment of model mice with phycocyanin powder showed a significant reduction in reactive oxygen species levels in the treated group compared to the control group.

Auxiliary Protection Against Radiation Hazards

Researchers have found that blue spirulina phycocyanin powder has a protective effect on the oxidative damage caused by radiation in mice by establishing a mouse model of X-ray radiation damage. The experimental results show that phycocyanin powder can improve the antioxidant capacity of mice, reduce the oxidative damage caused by radiation on the organism, and have a better protective effect on radiation damage in mice.

Enhancement of Immunity

Mouse model tests have shown that phycocyanin promotes the differentiation and growth of mouse granulosa monophyletic progenitor cells, thereby enhancing the immune function of the mouse organism. In addition, phycocyanin powder has been reported to reduce allergic reactions in mice through immunomodulatory activity.

Adjuvant Protection Against Chemical Liver Injury

By establishing a rat model of alcoholic liver injury, researchers have found that the administration of blue spirulina phycocyanin powder complex can effectively inhibit alcohol damage to hepatocytes. The blue spirulina phycocyanin powder complex in all dose groups can significantly inhibit alcohol-induced lipid peroxidation, inhibit the elevation of serum and hepatic MDA, and protect hepatocytes, and the dose-effect relationship is significant.

Helps Retain Skin Moisture

Researchers investigated the effects of powdered phycocyanin from spirulina on skin function in healthy subjects in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Ninety-six subjects were randomly divided into an alginin (containing C-alginin and allo-alginin) group and a placebo group, and it was found that water evaporation from the skin of the subjects (an indicator of the skin's moisturizing power) was significantly reduced after 8 weeks in the group with the phycocyanin powder-containing test diet.

Applications:

In the Food Field:

Organic phycocyanin powder is a 100% water soluble natural blue pigment, which can be used for colouring and dyeing various foods. Compared with traditional synthetic pigments, phycocyanin is healthier and more natural, which is favoured by more and more consumers. As a natural pigment, phycocyanin powder can be used in milk tea and tea drinks, cold foods (ice cream, smoothie, smooch), beverages (ready-to-drink, solid beverages), confectionery (coating, gummy candy, chewing gum), dairy products, bakery, and other fields.

In Cosmetics:

Organic phycocyanin powder is a collagen-like protein with multiple effects such as moisturising and anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory and blemish elimination, etc. It can be used as a natural pigment in make-up, skincare and other cosmetic products, which can give the products a natural blue colour and enhance the aesthetics and market competitiveness of the products.

For Health Products:

Blue spirulina phycocyanin powder can help regulate and synthesize a variety of important enzymes needed for human metabolism, inhibit the growth of cancer cells and promote the regeneration of human cells, care for the ovaries, and promote the synthesis of elastin in the body and other effects. At the same time, blue spirulina phycocyanin powder regulates the human immune system, enhances the function of the immune system and improves the body's resistance to disease. As a raw material, organic phycocyanin powder has been used in a variety of health products.
