Blue spirulina powder

Blue spirulina powder, a natural coloring ideal for the bakery industry

Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is cultivated in controlled freshwater systems. Once the spirulina reaches optimal density, it is harvested from the water. The harvested biomass is then washed to remove residual growth medium. The spirulina biomass undergoes cell disruption to release intracellular components. This step allows the blue pigment to be extracted efficiently.

The biomass is mixed with water under controlled conditions, allowing the blue pigment to dissolve while minimizing the extraction of unwanted compounds. The purified extract is concentrated by removing excess water, to preserve color quality. The concentrated phycocyanin extract is dried into a powder, which results in a stable blue spirulina powder with low moisture content.

Blue spirulina can be mixed into smoothies, juices, ice creams and candy. In baking, it is commonly used in decorations and filling.
