Optimised Extraction and Purification of Dual-Function Cosmetic-Grade Phycocyanin and Allophycocyanin from Dried Arthrospira platensis Biomass Using Conventional Methods

Applied Sciences, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(2), P. 532 - 532

Published: Jan. 8, 2025

Arthospira platensis is a filamentous cyanobacterium considered an important source of phycobiliproteins (PBP), class water-soluble pigments with wide range applications. Although several extraction and purification techniques PBP have been reported, there still need for strategies that achieve balance between simplicity, cost-effectiveness, scalability. To address this need, study systematically evaluated conventional methods—homogenisation, freeze–thaw cycles, maceration. Maceration showed the best yield purity recovery among tested techniques, under optimal conditions (three 2 h/cycle, 0.1 M phosphate buffer), 55.9 mg/g biomass phycocyanin (PC) 24.9 allophycocyanin (APC) notable antioxidant capacity (Folin-Ciocalteu’s ABTS●+ assays) were yielded. Among ammonium sulphate fractionation achieved 2.3 recoveries 92.9% 79.9% PC APC, respectively, while 0.5% activated carbon resulted in extract 2.5 90.9% 87.2% (APC). The suggested procedures could be fast cost-effective way to obtain cosmetic-grade PBP, thus offering accessible solution industries prioritising sustainable economically viable production pipelines.

Antioxidant Capacity and Thermal Stability of Arthrospira platensis Extract Encapsulated in Starch Sodium Octenyl Succinate with Freeze-, Spray-, and Nanospray-Drying

Molecules, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 30(6), P. 1303 - 1303

Published: March 13, 2025

Arthrospira platensis is a filamentous cyanobacterium produced commercially for human consumption, and it source of phycocyanin (PC), which recently stirred up great interest due to its anti-inflammatory, radical scavenging, antioxidant hepato-protective properties. This work has studied the encapsulation A. extract in starch sodium octenyl succinate by employing freeze-drying two spray-drying techniques, conventional nanospray-drying. The main characteristics properties, including PC efficiency, size, colour, thermal stability capsules, were evaluated. Moreover, capacity encapsulated release PCs into saliva simulant, compared. Similar efficiency was achieved using nanospray-drying techniques with values 67–71% 70–78%, respectively. Meanwhile, method significantly lower (38–42%). improved as demonstrated higher decomposition temperature, increased 8–11 °C, 11–15 22–23 °C spray-dried, nanospray-dried freeze-dried samples, technique allowed production smallest particles an average diameter 2–14 µm, good colour stability, capacity. Overall, results potential modified several application bioactive ingredients nutraceutical or pharmaceutical products.

Current and Prospective Pharmaceutical Use of Algal Bioproducts

IntechOpen eBooks, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 13, 2025

This chapter explores the diverse applications of algal biocompounds in human health, focusing on dietary, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical uses. Algae, ranging from macroscopic kelp to microscopic single-celled organisms (including cyanobacteria), are a rich source bioactive compounds with potential benefits for health well-being. begins by classifying algae highlighting their historical use as food. It then delves into current prospective biocompounds, dividing discussion three main sections. The first section examines dietary uses food supplements additives, role sources macro- micronutrients, natural colourings, thickeners prebiotics. second external extracts cosmetics, discussing anti-aging, whitening, moisturizing, thickening, photoprotection, antioxidant activity hair care. Finally, third investigates examining antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory activities, hypertension management, direct cancer treatment indirect aids, diagnostic use. aims provide comprehensive overview state research commercial contribute sustainable solutions, enhance cosmetic products, develop novel pharmaceuticals.
