C-Phycocyanin application:
The application research of phycocyanin is very common and can be summarized in the following aspects:
(1) Natural food pigments: Phycocyanin is a water-soluble pigment, pure blue, clear and lovely, and can be used as a food colorant and additive in cosmetics. And it is very rich in protein itself.
(2) Medical and health food: In vitro experiments of phycocyanin have proven that it can stimulate the formation of red blood cell colonies, similar to the effect of erythropoietin (EPO). Phycocyanin can help regulate the synthesis of a variety of important enzymes needed by the human body, and plays an important role in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. It can also regulate the body’s immune system, enhance the function of the immune system, and improve the body’s resistance to disease.
(3) Cosmetics field: Phycocyanin is a collagen-like protein with antioxidant, moisturizing, anti-allergic, and freckle removal effects.
(4) Special reagents for biology, chemistry and cytology experiments: Phycocyanin is blue and fluorescent, and can be used as a reagent for some photodynamic research in biology and cytology. It can also be used as a biochemical marker.
