C-PHYCOCYANIN PURIFICATION: MULTIPLE PROCESSES FOR DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS

open access: yes, 2018
C-phycocyanin is a potential nutraceutical/pharmaceutical candidate with functionalities that are better documented than those of health foods in general. Studies have demonstrated that C-phycocyanin has antioxidant and antitumor properties and potential

Different characteristics of C-phycocyanin (C-PC) in two strains of the extremophilic Galdieria phlegrea

open access: yes, 2018
To date, the main source for phycocyanin production is the thermophilic cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis, although latest researches are exploring the possibility to exploit the thermoacidophilic Cyanidiophyceae (Rhodophyta) to this purpose.

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Phycobiliprotein Lyases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Phycobilins are light harvesting pigments of cyanobacteria and red algae. In cyanobacteria, four phycobiliproteins are organized in phycobilisomes: phycocyanin (PC), allophycocyanin (APC), and often also phycoerythrocyanin (PEC) or phycoerythrin (PE ...
