Phycocyanin — Supplement Grade
Allzone Trading supplies Phycocyanin as a deep blue powder to manufacturers and formulators in Canada and international B2B markets. Also referenced as C-Phycocyanin, Spirulina extract, Spirulina blue. Phycocyanin is a water-soluble protein-pigment complex extracted from Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis). It provides one of the few natural blue colours available to food formulators, and it is heat-, light- and pH-sensitive because the colour depends on intact protein structure.

Technical & procurement detail
What Phycocyanin is and what it does+
Phycocyanin is a water-soluble protein-pigment complex extracted from Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis). It provides one of the few natural blue colours available to food formulators, and it is heat-, light- and pH-sensitive because the colour depends on intact protein structure.
Colour value and heat stability define the grade+
Grades are compared on colour value (E-value) rather than assay, and blue colour is lost under acidic conditions or sustained heat. Give the pH, thermal profile and shelf-life target of your product so a grade with a realistic chance of surviving it is quoted.
Regulatory status is destination-specific+
Permitted use, permitted level and required labelling for this material differ by country, by product category and by intended claim. Allzone does not represent that the material is approved for your application in your market. Tell us the destination market and the finished-product category, and the available supplier documentation is provided so your regulatory team can complete its own assessment.
Documentation and specification+
Assay, particle size, solvent residue, microbiological limits and heavy-metal limits differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable specification with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
