All marketing and technical information describes composition, analytical specification and processing guidance only; no health or medical claims are made. What is Blue Spirulina (phycocyanin)? Blue spirulina refers to the phycocyanin pigment fraction extracted from spirulina biomass. Phycocyanin is a water-soluble blue pigment commonly used as a natural blue colourant and functional ingredient in dry mixes and beverages. Our blue spirulina powder is prepared to provide a stable, high-performing phycocyanin ingredient for commercial formulations; exact composition and purity are declared on the product COA and specification sheet. How it differs from regular spirulina powder Regular spirulina powder is the whole dried biomass, typically green due to chlorophyll and contains proteins, fibres and other constituents. Blue spirulina (phycocyanin extract) is a concentrated pigment fraction with a blue colour profile and reduced green/chlorophyll content, optimised for colour applications where a vivid blue tone is required. Functional and formulation handling differ: blue spirulina is supplied as a pigment/extract for colouring and instant beverage use, while whole spirulina is used where full biomass composition is required. Applications (food, beverage, premix and supplement manufacturers) Natural blue colourant for confectionery, icings, bakery, gelled desserts and dairy analogues Ingredient in powdered beverage mixes, RTD functional drinks and premium instant blends Colourant for nutraceutical sachets, premixes and capsule filling where a natural blue tone is required Used in combination with stabilisers and pH management systems in formulation; technical guidance and recommended inclusion ranges available on request Bulk buying checklist (documents and analytical checks) Certificate of Analysis (COA) including phycocyanin assay and identity tests Phycocyanin purity (%) — reported on COA and specification sheet Heavy metals report (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury) Microbial limits (TPC, yeast & mould, E. coli, Salmonella) Moisture, ash and particle size Residual solvent and processing aids declaration where applicable Allergen declaration and origin statement Supplier & packaging details (B2B terms) MOQ and pack sizes: R&D samples up to 25 kg vacuum-sealed bags, lined drums and palletised container loads.
