Product Specifications

What Makes This Ingredient Stand Out?

The unique colour of blue spirulina comes from a pigment-protein complex called phycocyanin. In contrast to whole-cell green spirulina, this concentrated extract only contains that one compound, which gives it a deeper, cleaner blue colour and better functional qualities.

The powder dissolves very well in water. There is no residue or sedimentation left behind because it dissolves quickly and completely. This makes it very reliable in water-based products like drinks, dairy, sweets, and functional supplements.

The E-value scale (E6 to E40) is used to measure the colour strength. When the E-value is higher, the pigment concentration per unit weight is higher. This lets formulators precisely control how much colour goes into their finished goods.

Applications Across Industries

This ingredient is used in many different fields where natural blue colouring or plant-based protein is needed.

Food & Drink: Natural blue colouring for smoothies, plant-based drinks, sports nutrition drinks, ice cream, and sweets. It's a clean-label alternative to FD&C Blue No. 1 and other synthetic blue dyes.

Supplements for the diet: These are used in capsules, tablets, and functional foods to help the immune system, boost antioxidants, and improve overall health. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of phycocyanin are well known. It also helps the liver clean out toxins and gets immune cells working.

It is used in high-end skin care products where natural colour and antioxidants are both important. Since it dissolves in water, it is easy to add to serums, masks, and other topical products.

Animal nutrition: It can be used in high-end pet food and feed for fish farms, where natural colourants and useful ingredients are becoming more popular.

Quality Assurance and Safety

Before it leaves the plant, each batch of this blue spirulina organic powder goes through a number of quality control steps.

Finding reliable sources of Spirulina platensis is the first step in choosing raw materials. Before it is used, each new batch is checked for identification, purity, heavy metals, microbial contamination, and solvents that are still present.

When making something, strict GMP-based standard operating procedures are used. Conditions in the environment, such as temperature, humidity, and air quality, are managed during the whole production process.

HPLC and UV spectrophotometry are used to check the phycocyanin content, pigment purity, and batch consistency of the end product after it has been made. There is full documentation kept, such as batch records, COAs, SDSs, and test reports from third parties. This makes sure that everything can be tracked and that regulations are followed.

Storage and Handling Guidelines

It is important to store pigments and powders correctly so that they keep working and staying good over time.

• Place for storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Long-term keeping should be done in a refrigerator at 2–8°C.
• Protect against light: Keep away from bright light. Use containers or packaging that doesn't let light through.
• Keep sealed to keep moisture out. Moisture will speed up the breakdown process.
• Product has a shelf life of 24 months from the date it was made if stored in the way that is suggested.
• Handling: When compounding, don't leave it exposed to high heat for long periods of time. For best results, use the powder in situations where the temperature is below 80°C.

Packing and Delivery

The standard way to package 25 kg is in cardboard or fibre drums with pressure composite film bags inside. You can choose from different types of customised packaging, such as aluminium foil nitrogen-filled bags and light-resistant bottle packaging.

For smaller orders, flexible packaging forms can be set up based on what you need. Through the OEM/ODM service model, you can also get custom labels, multilingual packaging, and solutions to stop counterfeiting.

Based on the size and location of the order, it is sent by courier, air freight, or ocean freight. Because ready stock is kept all year, shipping starts two to three working days after the order is confirmed.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between the product and regular green spirulina?

A: Regular spirulina is a whole-cell algae with a green color. Our product is an extract in which phycocyanin — the natural blue pigment — has been isolated and concentrated. This gives it a much more vibrant blue color and a cleaner taste profile suitable for food and beverage applications.

Q2: Will the blue color fade when exposed to heat during processing?

A: All natural pigments have sensitivity limits. Our refined extraction grades have improved thermal and pH stability compared to standard-grade products. Optimized formulation guidelines are provided to help minimize color degradation in commercial production.

Q3: Does the powder dissolve completely without leaving residue?

A: Yes. The powder is micronized using advanced processing technology. It dissolves rapidly and completely in water, with no residue or sedimentation — even in dairy or beverage applications.

Q4: What E-value specification should I choose for my application?

A: The appropriate E-value depends on your required color intensity and application type. Lower grades (E6–E10) suit lighter-colored formulations, while higher grades (E18–E40) are used where deeper blue tones or lower usage rates are needed. Contact our technical team for a recommendation based on your formula.

Q5: Can you support custom formulation or private label requests?

A: Yes. Full OEM/ODM services are available, including custom specifications, packaging formats, labeling, and multilingual options. Trial quantities from kilogram level are accepted for initial development.

Q6: Is this product suitable for certified organic or clean-label product lines?

A: This product ingredient is sourced from Spirulina platensis and contains no synthetic additives. It meets HALAL and KOSHER standards and is fully aligned with clean-label product positioning. Customers with specific organic certification requirements are encouraged to contact us directly.
