🔵 Blue Spirulina Powder – Stable, Vibrant & Process-Ready!
Blue Spirulina Powder, derived from Arthrospira platensis, is known for its brilliant natural blue pigment called phycocyanin. Beyond its stunning color, it offers impressive stability when used properly in food processing.
✨ Stability in Food Applications
✔ Heat Sensitivity – Blue spirulina is best suited for low to moderate temperature processes. High heat (above 60–70°C) may reduce color intensity and nutritional value. Ideal for cold beverages, smoothies, ice cream, yogurt, and no-bake desserts.
✔ pH Stability Performs best in neutral to slightly alkaline conditions (pH 5–8). Highly acidic environments may cause fading of the blue color.
✔ Light Protection For maximum color retention, store finished products away from direct light. Opaque or UV-protective packaging is recommended.
✔ Water Soluble Easily disperses in water-based systems, making it perfect for drinks, confectionery coatings, frostings, and dairy products.
✔ Clean Label Advantage A natural alternative to synthetic blue dyes, meeting growing consumer demand for plant-based, clean-label ingredients.
🌿 Best Used In:
• Smoothies & juices
• Plant-based beverages
• Ice cream & frozen desserts
• Frostings & bakery decorations (added after baking)
• Confectionery & functional snacks
💡 Processing Tip: Add blue spirulina during the cooling stage of production to maintain its vibrant blue color and bioactive benefits.
Bring natural brilliance to your formulations safely, sustainably, and beautifully blue! 💙
