Phycocyanin Powder

 

 

The synthesis of Phycocyanin Powder from biological sources is a multi-step process that begins with the careful selection of a phycocyanin-rich source. This initial step is crucial, as the quality of the source directly impacts the yield and purity of the final product. Once the source is obtained, it is combined with water to create a solution, setting the stage for effective extraction. This process leverages the natural properties of phycocyanin while ensuring that the subsequent extraction methods are both efficient and sustainable.

 

The extraction phase involves breaking down the cellular structure of the source to liberate phycocyanin. Techniques such as cell lysis are employed, often enhanced by the addition of specific chemical reagents that facilitate the release of phycocyanin molecules. This step is critical for maximizing the yield and ensuring that the extracted compounds maintain their functional integrity. The resulting solution contains a mixture of phycocyanin and other cellular components, necessitating further purification.

 

To isolate the phycocyanin, the solution undergoes a series of separation techniques, including filtration and centrifugation. These methods effectively remove unwanted materials, leaving behind a concentrated phycocyanin solution. The final step in the process is sterilization, which is essential for eliminating any microbial contaminants and ensuring that the phycocyanin is safe for various applications. Together, these methods create a robust framework for synthesizing high-quality phycocyanin from biological sources.

PRODUCT DETAILS

This Phycocyanin Powder is synthesized through advanced purification methods to ensure safety and purity. Derived from carefully selected biological sources, such as algae and cyanobacteria, our phycocyanin is meticulously sterilized using ceramic membrane filtration and heat, effectively removing harmful pathogens like E. coli while preserving the compound’s integrity and bioactivity. This synthesis focuses on high-quality extraction, resulting in a pure, powdered form of phycocyanin ideal for various applications.

 

 

Our biological sources include both eukaryotic algae and prokaryotic cyanobacteria, photosynthetic organisms capable of converting light energy into chemical energy. Phycocyanin itself is a nutrient-dense phycobiliprotein that can be sourced from algae (e.g., Chlorella, Enteromorpha, Nannochloropsis) and cyanobacteria species (e.g., Aphanizomenon, Spirulina, Phormidium, Synechocystis). The compound’s structure features alpha (α) and beta (β) subunits, forming stable αβ heterodimers that may further polymerize, which creates multimers crucial for its functional stability. Each subunit is composed of 160–180 amino acid residues, each with unique hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties that facilitate complex bonding, contributing to phycocyanin’s bioavailability and effectiveness.

 

 

 

Ideal for applications requiring a safe, high-purity phycocyanin source, this product leverages rigorous synthesis and sterilization standards, delivering exceptional quality in a convenient, powdered form.
