Features
Spirulina blue color is a kind of protein binding pigment, with the same properties as protein. Its final product is blue particles or powders, easily soluble in water and insoluble in ethyl alcohol and grease. It sensitive to heat, light and acid, while it is stable under weak acid and neutral conditions (PH4.5-8). However, there will be sediment while it meets acid (pH4.2), and strong alkali can make phycocyanin discolor. It has poor stability to metal ions and poor coloring ability.
