Description :

1. Phycocyanin is a pigment from the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, along with allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin. It is an accessory pigment to chlorophyll. All phycobiliproteins are water-soluble and therefore cannot exist within the membrane as do carotenoids, but aggregate forming clusters that adhere to the membrane called phycobilisomes.

2. Phycocyanin is a characteristic light blue colour, absorbing orange and red light, particularly near 620 nm (depending on which specific type it is), and emits fluorescence about 650 nm (also depending on which type it is).

3. Allophycocyanin absorbs and emits at longer wavelengths than Phycocyanin C or Phycocyanin R. Phycocyanins are found in Cyanobacteria (previously called blue-green algae). Phycobiliproteins have fluorescent properties that are used in immunoassay kits.

Main Function of phycocyanin:

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

2. Phycocyanin is a powerful anti-oxidant & anti-hydroxyl radical, protect cells against DNA damage.

3. Phycocyanin has powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

4. Phycocyanin is a strong chelating power - to leach out heavy metals (mercury and lead) and toxins, it protects and improves liver function.

Application for phycocyanin:

1. As medicines raw materials for anti-inflammatory and regulating menstruation, it is mainly used in pharmaceutical field;

2. As products of health products, it is widely used in the field of health care products;
