Products Description
High-Purity Natural Blue Spirulina Powder (Phycocyanin 20%-30% Customizable) | FDA, EU & Kosher Certified | Heat-Stable Blue Pigment for Food, Beverages & Cosmetics
Our blue spirulina powder is a 100% natural blue pigment derived from organic Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina) via gentle, solvent-free extraction and low-temperature drying (≤50°C). Its core active component is phycocyanin-a water-soluble protein that delivers an intense, vibrant blue color unmatched by other natural blue pigments. Unlike synthetic blue colorants (e.g., Brilliant Blue FCF) or low-purity spirulina extracts, our product contains no additives, GMOs, residual solvents, or off-flavors-perfect for global "clean label" brands pursuing natural, healthy formulations.
As a dual-functional ingredient (natural pigment + nutritional supplement), our blue spirulina powder boasts high phycocyanin content (20%-30% customizable) for vivid blue coloring and exceptional heat stability (retains 90% color at 180°C for 30 mins). It is 100% water-soluble (no emulsifier needed) and compatible with acidic/alkaline formulations, making it suitable for high-temperature processing (baking, pasteurization) and diverse applications. Fully compliant with FDA 21 CFR §184.1345, EU Regulation (EC) 1333/2008 (E181), and USP 45 standards, it is Kosher, Halal, and vegan-certified-trusted by 320+ brands across North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania for its consistent color, safety, and compliance.
