Standards Development
This document specifies a laboratory method for the quantification of phycocyanin content in the genus Arthrospira (Spirulina) by a spectrophotometric method.
Pigments such as phycocyanin are present in commercially interesting concentrations in algae. Spirulina (commercial name for the species of the genus Arthrospira) is one of the most used species to extract phycocyanin,
The standard shall encompass the determination of the phycocyanin content in Arthrospira (Spirulina).
This determination shall enable that all phycocyanin content present at a significant level in the algal matrix are quantified in an accurate and reproducible way. The concentration of phycocyanin shall be expressed in mg/g dry weight. Moreover, the method described in the standard shall ensure a practical, quick, and safe technical approach, whose protocol details and all related know-how shall be easily and economically transferrable to all the sector stakeholders. The standard shall ensure this objective by a comprehensive and fully detailed description of all technical steps.
