Product Introduction

This effects in a singular herbal blue pigment-protein complicated, obtained from certified organic arthrospira platensis by way of modern day physical membrane separation techniques. This excessive fine aspect is a vibrant natural hue and is a bioactive nutraceutical substance. Our powder is without difficulty soluble in water and stable over a ph variety of four.Five to 8.Zero, making it the precise candidate for a mess of packages. You can choose between different grades like E18, E25 or E3.0 UV. All batches are subjected to rigorous testing to ensure the purity ratio is above 2.0 and there is no solvent residue, so you can be assured all formulations are safe.

Third-Party Test Report

Independent Testing: We have our product thoroughly tested by internationally recognized third party labs such as SGS and Eurofins, so you can be sure of transparent quality assurance.

Heavy Metals Testing: Complete testing for lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury always shows levels far below EU and FDA safety regulations so you can be certain your finished products are safe for consumers.

Organic Phycocyanin Powder Advantages

Improved Colour Stability: Unlike synthetic blue dyes, our powder retains its beautiful azure blues even in conditions with a wide range of pH levels and temperatures. This implies your products will appear the same for the entire duration of their shelf life without any worries of chemical alterations.

Dual Functionality Value: The bioactive phycocyanobilin content gives colour and inflammation and antioxidants. This makes your product more than a colourant, it makes it a functional superfood ingredient.

Organic Phycocyanin Powder Application

Cold-Processed Beverages: Great for high-protein juices, kombucha, and blue smoothies because the heat-sensitive nature is kept, giving the drinks beautiful blue tones that look great on Instagram and supporting superfood marketing stories that drive up prices.

Plant-Based Dairy Alternatives: Keeps the colour in organic oat milk, coconut yogurt, and vegan ice cream without causing migration problems. Specialized micro-encapsulated versions are available for acidic fermented foods that need more stability.

Premium Supplement Formulations: High-purity grades (A620/A280 >4.0) are used in nutraceuticals to help the immune system and protect cells from damage. They work best in opaque pills to keep the bioactive effects and avoid photo-oxidation.

Production Process

Step 1: Grow Organic Spirulina: We grow certified organic Arthrospira platensis in controlled photobioreactors using filtered water and natural sunshine. This produces biomass with an ideal phycocyanin content of 15–18% dry weight.

Step 2: Gentle Harvesting: Spirulina biomass is carefully harvested by centrifuging it over and over at temperatures below 30°C. This keeps the protein structure and cell integrity so that the most colour is retained.

Step 3: Breaking the Cell Wall: We break down cell walls without using chemicals by using physical freeze-thaw cycle and ultrasonic treatment. This lets proteins escape without changing their shape.

Step 4: Membrane Filtration: Ultrafiltration and diafiltration systems with multiple stages separate phycocyanin from cell waste and lower molecular weight compounds. This makes a concentrated liquid with purity ratios above 2.0 and bright colour values.

Step 5: Organic Stabilization: A pure phycocyanin solution is mixed with approved organic carriers (sodium citrate or trehalose at a 5% concentration). This makes a protective matrix that stops the protein from breaking down during the next steps of processing.

Step 6: Drying at Low Temperatures: Spray drying at temperatures below 140°C quickly turns liquid concentrate into fine powder. This cuts down on the time the material is exposed to heat so that the bioactive properties and bright blue colour are kept.

FAQ

Q: What is the shelf life on the stuff?

A: When kept in sealed packaging, away from light and below 25°C, our powder maintains its optimal colour and bioactivity for 24 months after manufacture.

Q: Is phycocyanin heat resistant?

A: It is constructed of proteins that decompose above 70 C°. We are proposing applications with cold or low temperature. If your product undergoes heating you may want to consider adding post pasteurization or using our heat stable encapsulated versions.

Q: What is the smallest amount I can order?

A: For items we stock, our usual MOQ is one 25-kg drum. Minimum quantities for OEM/ODM programs that produce unique formulations are based on the complexity of the recipe, but often begin at 100 kg.
