Phycocyanin powder is a pigment-protein complex from the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, along with allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin. It is an accessory pigment to chlorophyll. All phycobiliproteins are water-soluble, so they cannot exist within the membrane-like carotenoids can.

It is natural light blue colorant extracted from blue-green algae (Spirulina ). It`s good water-soluble, Alcohol and lipid insoluble. Phycocyanin accounts for as much as 20% protein and attaches itself to photosynthesizing membranes, also its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It`s an accessory pigment to chlorophyll.Phycocyanin is derived from C-phycocyanin and allophycocyanin which have fluorescent properties that are valuable to researchers in immune assay kits. Phycocyanin powder is selective about which cells it attaches to, making it simple to track down.

Functions:

1. Phycocyanin powder has powerful anti-inflammatory properties;

2. It used to protect and improves liver function;

3. It is a powerful anti-oxidant radical, protect cells against DNA damage;

4. It is a water-soluble pigment, non-toxic, pure, lovely clear, can be used as a food coloring agent, cosmetic additives.

Applications:

1. Natural edible pigment, algal blue protein is a water-soluble pigment, non-toxic, pure blue, and can be used as food colorants, cosmetic additives.

2. The medicine and health food, algal blue protein can stimulate red blood cell colony formation in vitro experiment, similar to the role of erythropoietin (EPO). Abroad has successfully developed a variety of algal blue protein compound drugs, can improve anemia, improve the success of the hemoglobin. Spirulina algae blue protein has an inhibitory effect on some cancer cells.

3. The biological, chemical and special reagent cytological experiments. Algal blue protein, blue with fluorescence, some light dynamics can be used as biological, cytological research reagents.
