- Product Description
Phycocyanin E6 Manufacturer and Supplier
Phycocyanin E6 is a naturally occurring blue colour protein that is taken from spirulina using a sophisticated process for extracting and cleaning water. This specification is made in China by Shaanxi Herbcosher Phychemistry Co., Ltd., and it gives basic blue colouring performance with great water dispersibility. We have been making phytochemicals for more than 20 years and have certifications from ISO9001, GMP, FDA, Kosher, and Halal. We keep enough in stock to deliver quickly. We offer a range of flexible packaging choices (10 kg and 20 kg) and a low minimum order amount of just 1 kg. We also offer a wide range of trade terms (EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP, DDP) to meet the needs of your business.

What is Phycocyanin E6?
From spirulina algae, the product is a standard blue pigment protein. The number "E6" next to it means that it meets the purity standards set by UV-Visible Spectrophotometry testing. This cheap grade has a natural blue colour that works well for uses that need a modest amount of colour. The protein-based colour looks like a fine blue powder. It dissolves easily in water but not in chemical solvents, which makes it perfect for formulation systems that use water.

Production Process
Our method of extracting and purifying water makes sure that the end product is of high quality while still keeping the pigment's natural properties. What the method does is:
- Picking out the best spirulina biomass from limited farming
- Phycocyanin proteins are released through a gentle water-based extraction.
- Multiple steps of purification to get rid of impurities
- The powder must be concentrated and sprayed dry to make it stable.
- Strict UV-Visible Spectrophotometry tests to confirm the E6 standard
This method doesn't use harsh chemical solvents, so the natural integrity of the pigment is kept.

FAQ
Q: What distinguishes E6 from greater purity grades?
A: Spectrophotometry purity ratio E6. E18 and E25 imply higher concentration, needing less dose for the same colour intensity. E6 provides affordable natural colouring for basic applications.
Q: How to store the product?
A: Keep cool, dry, and out of direct light. Sealed, temperature-controlled containers preserve quality. Process at temperatures below 60°C.
Q: Does it function in acidic formulations?
A: Below pH 4.5, phytocyanin proteins breakdown. Consider microencapsulation or contact our technical team for acidic beverage stabilisation.
Q: Does spirulina taste or smell?
A: Our purifying process eliminates volatile chemicals that give spirulina its usual taste, leaving it neutral for delicate applications.
Q: What documents do you offer?
A: Regulatory compliance requires COA, specification sheet, certificates, and third-party testing reports for each shipment.
