Induction of Spirulina extract(Phycocyanin)
Phycocyanin is a pigment from the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein fa ily, along with allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin It's not only a natural colourful edible pigment but also a nutritious protein and health food. It's the only natural blue pigment that FDA recognised in the United States. The European Union has already listed it as a raw material for food colourant and its use is unrestricted.
