Spirulina Liquid Extract
What is Spirulina Liquid Extract?
After producing high quality Spirulina extract, we compounded the Spirulina extract again to obtain Spirulina liquid extract. Unlike Spirulina extract powder, the liquid extract is easier to produce and use, and has a more uniform color distribution.

Color Stability and Application Guidance
For the spirulina extract color system, BINMEI's current performance guide specifies pH stability at about 4.5–8.0, processing below 65°C (149°F), and sensitivity to light. Formulators should validate the final shade under the actual pH, heat process, packaging and shelf-life conditions of the finished product.
In the United States, spirulina extract is regulated under 21 CFR 73.530 for the food categories and conditions listed in the regulation. In Canada, Spirulina Extract is listed in List 3 of Permitted Food Colours. In the EU, the current client documentation treats spirulina as a colouring food. Market and application requirements should be checked before launch.

FAQ
Our Product
Spirulina liquid extract is also known as Spirulina concentrate, liquid phycocyanin. Spirulina liquid extracts are made from a secondary blend of high quality Spirulina extracts. Compared with powdered Spirulina extract, Spirulina liquid extract is more convenient to use and store, while avoiding the inconvenience of dissolving, using, and storing powder.
Product Application & Stability
Since the essence of Spirulina liquid extract is phycocyanin, a natural pigment bound to protein. It has poor stability to heat, therefore, heating treatment will cause discoloration. However, if add blue after cooling down or at about 60℃ or used together with other ingredients containing protein, its color stability improves, its color stability will improve. It may maintain the charming blue color. Therefore, we suggest that your product be fully developed and tested before being launched.
Packaging and Orders
We are mainly offering large packaging(5kg, 25kg) for business use, as well as small packaging for retailing, such as 100g small packs. Meantime, we also can customize the packaging and specifications according to customer needs.
