Phycocyanin

cocyanin Powder is natural light blue colorant extracted from blue-green algea (Spirulina ). It`s good water soluble, alcohol and lipid insoluble. cocyanin Powder accounts for as much as 20% protein and attaches itself to tosynthesizing membranes, also it`s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It`s an accessory pigment to chloroll. cocyanin is derived from C-cocyanin and allococyanin which have fluoresent properties that are valuable to research in immune assay kits. cocyanin powder is selective about which it attaches to, making it simple to track down.cocyanin is a pigment from the light-harvesting cobiliprotein family, along with allococyanin and coerythrin. It is an accessory pigment to chloroll. All cobiliproteins are water-soluble and therefore cannot exist within the membrane as do carotenoids, but aggregate forming clusters that adhere to the membrane called cobilisomes.cocyanin is a characteristic light blue colour, absorbing orange and red light, particularly near 620 nm (depending on which specific type it is), and emits fluorescence at about 650 nm (also depending on which type it is).Allococyanin absorbs and emits at longer wavelengths than cocyanin C or cocyanin R. cocyanins are found in Cyanobacteria (previously called blue-green algae). cobiliproteins have fluorescent properties that are used in immunoassay kits.
