Phycocyanin extraction from Limnospira spp.: sustainable source of natural blue color for the food industry
Phycocyanin (PC) is a blue protein pigment whose interest increased due to its potential as alternative to synthetic food colorants. The cyanobacteria of the genus Limnospira spp. are the main source of commercially available PC. The extraction and purification processes showed high variability in y...
