Is Phycocyanin A Pigment Protein?

Introduction


Phycocyanin is a blue pigment extracted from spirulina, and it is a pure natural food pigment. Phycocyanin is one of the rare pigment proteins in nature. It is not only bright in color, but also a nutritious protein and a good health food. It is the only natural blue pigment approved by the US FDA. The European Union has listed phycocyanin as a color food raw material, and its use in food is not restricted.

Effect


Phycocyanin can help regulate and synthesize a variety of important enzymes required for human metabolism. It plays an important role in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, promoting human cell regeneration, maintaining ovaries, and promoting the synthesis of elastin in the human body. At the same time, phycocyanin regulates the human body. Immune system, enhance the function of the immune system, improve the body's resistance to diseases. Therefore, phycocyanin is hailed as a "food diamond" by food experts.


It has the function of obviously inhibiting cancer cells.

It can promote cell activity, remove free radicals in the body, improve ovarian function, and promote the body to quickly synthesize elastin.

It has an inhibitory effect on all allergies.

Application


1. Natural food coloring: Phycocyanin is a water-soluble coloring, pure blue, bright and lovely, and can be used as food coloring agent and additive of cosmetics. And it is very rich in protein.

2. Medical and health food: Phycocyanin in vitro experiments proved that it has the effect of stimulating the formation of red blood cell colonies, similar to erythropoietin (EPO). Phycocyanin can help regulate the synthesis of a variety of important enzymes needed by the human body and play an important role in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. At the same time, it can also regulate the body's immune system, enhance the immune system's function, and improve the body's ability to resist diseases.

3. Cosmetics field: Phycocyanin is a collagen-like protein, which has anti-oxidation, moisturizing, anti-allergic, and freckle removal effects.

4. Special reagents for biology, chemistry and cytology experiments: Phycocyanin is blue with fluorescence, and can be used as some photodynamic research reagents for biology and cytology. It can also be used as a biochemical marker.
