Phycocyanin
Phycocyanin is a dark blue powder isolated from spirulina. Mainly present in cyanobacteria, red algae and cryptobacteria. Phycocyanin is usually classified into C- phycocyanin and R- phycocyanin. The former mainly exists in cyanobacteria and the latter mainly exists in red algae,and both exists in Cryptophyta. Its function is to absorb light (orange) energy and transfer light energy. Phycocyanin is one of the rare pigment proteins in nature. It is not only bright in color, but also a kind of protein that is rich in nutrition, Its amino acid composition is very complete, and the essential amino acid content is high. Phycocyanin has the functions of anti-cancer, promoting blood cell regeneration, preserving ovary and promoting the synthesis of elastin in human body. At the beginning of the 21st century, phycocyanin was widely used as an advanced natural pigment for food and cosmetics in Europe, America and Japan. Kangpai (confident) phycocyanin, developed by the Japan Institute of AIDS and produced by CONFIDENCE Algal Nutrition Food Company, was used as a rehabilitation drug and nutritional food for cancer patients and leukemia patients, the curative effect was outstanding.
Application:
The application research of phycocyanin is very wide, and can be concluded as the following aspects:
(1) Natural food pigment: phycocyanin is a water-soluble pigment, non-toxic, pure blue, clear and lovely, can be used as food colorant and cosmetic additive.
(2) Medical and health food: phycocyanin has the similar function of erythropoietin (EPO). Many kinds of phycocyanin compound drugs have been successfully developed in foreign countries. The Kangpai AIDS Research Institute in Japan has reported that phycocyanin can improve anemia and improve hemoglobin. In 1986, Schwartz and Shklar of Harvard hospital found that phycocyanin had inhibitory effect on some cancer cells.
(3) Phycocyanin, a special reagent for biological, chemical and cytological experiments, is blue and fluorescent,can be used as a photodynamic reagent for biology and cytology.
Effect
Phycocyanin can help regulate and synthesize a variety of important enzymes needed by human metabolism. It plays an important role in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, promoting the regeneration of human cells, maintaining the ovary, and promoting the synthesis of elastin in the human body. At the same time, phycocyanin regulates the human immune system, enhances the function of the immune system, and improves the human body's resistance to diseases. Therefore, phycocyanin is described as "Food Diamond" by food experts. It works well in the following aspects:
1. Anti-cancer cells, anti-tumor.
phycocyanin has been certified that it can inhibit cancer cell expansion. Scientists have found that phycocyanin inhibits cancer cells significantly,can be made into anti-tumor adjuvant treatment drugs, chemotherapy adjuvant treatment can enhance the body's immunity. Taking phycocyanin can improve the survival rate of organisms with cancer.
2. Antioxidation,scavenging free radicals.
Phycocyanin can promote cell activity, scavenge free radicals, improve ovarian function and promote rapid synthesis of elastin in human boday. According to scientific research, phycocyanin can stimulate erythrocyte colony formation, similar to erythropoietin; can adjust white blood cells and increase lymphocyte activity; increase physical ability, promote red blood cell growth, can enhance the body's immune function, promote growth and development.
3. Anti-allergy
Taiwan University's research team publishes new results, which show that purified phycocyanin inhibited all allergies.
