- Product Description
Phycocyanin E40 Manufacturer and Supplier
Phycocyanin E40 is a premium-grade natural blue pigment that is derived from spirulina using sophisticated water extraction and purification methods. Shaanxi Herbcosher Phychemistry Co., Ltd.'s standard provides outstanding colour intensity and a purity ratio of E40 utilising UV-Visible Spectrophotometry. High-quality functional food and nutritional supplements use the fine blue powder, which is water-soluble but insoluble in organic solvents. Our product satisfies high worldwide regulatory requirements with ISO9001, GMP, FDA, Kosher, and Halal certifications. We regulate quality from raw material procurement to delivery with over 20 years of phytochemical experience and cooperation with top Chinese research universities. Our factory stocks 10 kilogram and 20 kg flexible packaging for speedy air, sea, and rail delivery.
What is Phycocyanin E40?
Phycocyanin E40 is a pure spirulina microalgae blue protein pigment. This product's "E40" colour indicates a greater concentration of active phycocyanin molecules than typical standards. Manufacturers may save money on this water-soluble pigment's bright blue colour and low dose. Extraction retains protein structure while eliminating undesirable chemicals, creating a neutral flavour profile for varied product formulations.

Production Process
Our water extraction and purification involves precise methods. First, premium spirulina biomass gently disrupts cells to release phycocyanin. Multi-stage filtering and membrane separation eliminate contaminants from the aqueous extract. Bioactivity is preserved during spray-drying and concentrating to meet E40 colour standards. Heavy metals (Pb, As, Hg, Cd), microbiology (TPC, yeast, mould, E. coli, Salmonella), and microcystin contamination are tested in each batch using HPLC. The colour value is consistent between batches with UV-Visible Spectrophotometry.

FAQ
Q: How does product differ from lesser specs?
A: E40 denotes higher colour value and phycocyanin content, resulting in brighter blue tones with less product.
Q: How to store this product?
A: Keep cool, dry, and out of direct sunshine. Sealing preserves quality for 24 months.
Q: Can it be used in acidic drinks?
A: Denatured phycocyanin occurs below pH 4.5. Micro-encapsulation or acid-specific stabilisers are recommended.
Q: Does it have microcystins?
A: HPLC tests all batches for food safety microcystin levels.
Q: What is your lead time?
A: Stock products ship in 3–5 days. A normal 15-day turnaround for custom items.
