Description:

Phycocyanin Powder is derived from Spirulina platensis, a type of blue‑green algae. As a natural blue pigment‑protein, it is the natural pigment that gives spirulina its characteristic blue color. It is water‑soluble and high‑purity, widely used in food, beverage, dietary supplement, and cosmetic applications. Phycocyanin is well‑known for its antioxidant properties and is commonly utilized as a natural food colorant and dietary supplement. Compared with synthetic pigments, Phycocyanin features clean‑label, plant‑based, non‑GMO, and vegan‑friendly attributes, making it an ideal solution for modern natural formulation trends.

Product Specification Grades:

We provide multiple purity grades to meet different application requirements, based on industry demand and scientific classification of phycocyanin purity levels. Phycocyanin is a natural light-harvesting protein complex extracted from Spirulina platensis, belonging to the phycobili protein family. According to published research, its purity is commonly evaluated by the absorbance ratio (A620/A280), which reflects both pigment concentration and protein purity. Higher purity grades generally show:

♦ Stronger blue color intensity
♦ Lower protein impurities
♦ Better stability in beverage and cosmetic systems
♦ Higher fluorescence activity and bio-functionality

According to multiple studies in food science and biochemistry journals, phycocyanin is widely recognized as a safe, natural colorant and functional ingredient with antioxidant properties, and is increasingly used in clean-label formulations worldwide. Scientific Reference (for credibility section)
Phycocyanin has been widely studied in scientific literature for its:

♦ Antioxidant activity
♦ Anti-inflammatory potential
♦ Fluorescent protein properties
♦ Natural food coloring application stability

These studies confirm phycocyanin as a stable, safe, and functional natural pigment derived from Spirulina biomass.

Phycocyanin Powder contains phycocyanobilin, which has been found to have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It helps neutralize free radicals in the body, protecting cells from oxidative stress. Additionally, phycocyanin has been studied for its potential anti-cancer, immune-boosting, and neuro protective properties.

Applications:

Food and Beverage Industry: Phycocyanin Powder is used as a natural food colorant in various products, including beverages, confectioneries, ice creams, and health foods. It provides an attractive blue shade and offers a natural alternative to synthetic food dyes.

Dietary Supplements: Phycocyanin Powder is formulated into dietary supplements for its antioxidant and health-promoting properties. It is often marketed as an immune support supplement, as well as for its potential anti-inflammatory benefits.

Cosmetics and Personal Care: Phycocyanin Powder is utilized in cosmetic and personal care products for its natural blue color and antioxidant properties. It can be found in skincare formulations, haircare products, and bath products.

Technical & Handling Guidelines:

Phycocyanin is a natural water-soluble pigment-protein complex derived from Spirulina platensis. Due to its protein-based structure, it is sensitive to environmental conditions such as temperature, light, pH, and oxidation. Proper handling is essential to maintain its color stability and functional performance.

Regulatory Status – FDA Reference:

On February 6, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a final rule proposing revisions to the regulations governing spirulina extract used as a color additive in food applications.

The revision aims to expand the permitted use of spirulina extract (including phycocyanin) to nearly all human food categories, except for infant formula, certain USDA-regulated products, and foods with established standards of identity.

This update reflects FDA’s continued support for natural color additives under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and relevant 21 CFR color additive regulations, further reinforcing the regulatory acceptance of spirulina-derived ingredients in food systems.
