The Hydrolysis of Pigment-Protein Phycoerythrin by Bromelain Enhances the Color Stability
Foods, 2023 Phycoerythrin (PE) is a natural protein–pigment complex with a strong pink color, but it is sensitive to thermal and light variations. In this study, PE was extracted from Porphyra haitanensis in a yield of 0.2% (w/w). The phycoerythrin hydrolysates (PEH)
