Organic Phycocyanin Powder Organic Spirulina Extract Natural Blue Color
Organic Phycocyanin Powder Supplier Organic Spirulina Extract
Organic Phycocyanin Powder Organic Spirulina Extract Natural Blue Color
Organic Phycocyanin Powder is a natural blue pigment ingredient obtained from organic Spirulina and processed into a water-soluble powder for food, beverage, nutritional and selected pharmaceutical coloring applications. The product combines the characteristic blue color of phycocyanin with the organic positioning of its Spirulina raw material, making it suitable for manufacturers developing products based on natural and organic ingredients.
Phycocyanin is a naturally occurring blue pigment-protein belonging to the phycobiliprotein family and is one of the characteristic components of Spirulina. It provides a blue to blue-green color and is naturally water-soluble, making it suitable for a wide range of aqueous formulations. Organic Phycocyanin can therefore be used where manufacturers are looking for a naturally sourced blue coloring ingredient rather than conventional synthetic colorants, subject to the applicable regulations of the target market.
Different color-strength grades are available, including E6, E18, E25 and E40. These grades represent different levels of color strength and allow formulators to select a suitable material according to the required color intensity, dosage and application system. The grades can be supplied as part of one Phycocyanin product series rather than treated as completely different ingredients.
Organic Phycocyanin Powder is particularly suitable for natural-color and organic product development. Potential applications include functional beverages, powdered drinks, sports nutrition products, confectionery, desserts, nutritional foods and other food formulations. It can also be evaluated for pharmaceutical and drug-coloring applications in markets where the relevant Spirulina Extract color additive is permitted and where the specific product meets the applicable quality and regulatory requirements.
As a natural pigment, color performance can be influenced by formulation conditions such as pH, temperature, light exposure, storage conditions and interactions with other ingredients. Application testing is recommended to determine the appropriate Phycocyanin grade and dosage for each finished product.
We supply Organic Phycocyanin Powder for bulk ingredient applications and can provide product specifications, color-strength information, samples and available technical or certification documentation according to customer requirements.
Description
1. What Is Organic Phycocyanin Powder?
Organic Phycocyanin Powder is a natural blue pigment ingredient obtained from organic Spirulina. Its characteristic blue color comes primarily from phycocyanins, which are water-soluble phycobiliproteins naturally present in Spirulina.
The product is processed into a convenient powder form for use as a natural coloring ingredient in suitable food, beverage, nutritional and other regulated applications.
2. Organic Spirulina as the Raw Material
2.1 Organic Botanical Source
The product uses organically cultivated Spirulina as the botanical raw material, subject to the applicable organic certification and product documentation.
2.2 Natural Blue Pigment
Phycocyanin provides the characteristic blue color associated with Spirulina. It is a naturally sourced pigment suitable for applications where a blue color is required.
3. Organic Phycocyanin Processing
3.1 Raw Material Selection
Selected organic Spirulina is inspected according to the relevant raw material and quality requirements before processing.
3.2 Extraction
The Spirulina biomass is processed under controlled conditions to obtain the phycocyanin-containing fraction.
3.3 Separation and Purification
The extracted material is separated and purified to obtain a suitable pigment fraction with the desired color characteristics.
3.4 Concentration and Drying
The pigment-containing fraction is concentrated and dried to produce a stable powder suitable for transportation, storage and formulation.
4. Key Characteristics
4.1 Water-Soluble Natural Blue Color
Organic Phycocyanin Powder is water-soluble and can be incorporated into compatible liquid and dry formulations.
4.2 Organic Spirulina Source
The use of organic Spirulina provides an organic raw material basis for product development where organic certification and regulatory requirements are satisfied.
4.3 Multiple Color-Strength Grades
The product is available in E6, E18, E25 and E40 color-strength grades, providing flexibility for different formulation requirements.
4.4 Powder Format
The dry powder format allows convenient weighing, blending, packaging, transportation and storage.
5. Organic Spirulina Extract and Phycocyanin
Organic Spirulina Extract is an important product term associated with Spirulina-derived pigment ingredients. Phycocyanin is the characteristic blue phycobiliprotein fraction responsible for the blue color.
For commercial applications, the exact product identity should follow the product specification and regulatory documentation. For this reason, both Organic Phycocyanin Powder and Organic Spirulina Extract can be used as relevant product and search terms, while the formal regulatory identity should be confirmed for the intended application.
6. E6, E18, E25 and E40 Color Strengths
The product can be supplied in different color-strength grades, including E6, E18, E25 and E40.
These grades are intended to provide different levels of color intensity and should not automatically be interpreted as purity percentages or phycocyanin content unless specifically defined in the product specification.
The appropriate grade can be selected according to the finished product, required color intensity, dosage and formulation conditions.
7. Pharmaceutical Coloring Applications
Organic Phycocyanin / Organic Spirulina Extract can be evaluated for selected pharmaceutical coloring applications where naturally sourced blue colorants are permitted.
In the United States, Spirulina Extract is listed by the FDA as a color additive permitted for certain drug uses under specified conditions. However, this regulatory listing should not be interpreted as a blanket approval for every phycocyanin or every organic Spirulina product.
For pharmaceutical projects, customers should evaluate the specific product identity, specifications, manufacturing process, purity requirements, intended dosage form and regulatory requirements of the target market.
8. Organic Phycocyanin vs Conventional Phycocyanin
The primary distinction is the source of the Spirulina raw material and the corresponding organic certification status.
Organic Phycocyanin uses organic Spirulina as its raw material, while conventional phycocyanin may be produced from non-organic Spirulina.
For certified organic finished products, the entire supply chain and applicable certification requirements should be considered, including raw material certification, processing, handling, packaging and documentation.
