High-Nutrition Natural Algae-Derived Dietary Functional Base Material
Spirulina Powder is a natural microalgae dietary raw material mainly using Spirulina platensis and Spirulina maxima. It is refined through large-scale aseptic cultivation, washing & sterilization, spray-drying and ultrafine grinding. It is a green super-food of food-medicine homology and a nationally-recognized ordinary food raw material. Complies with national standard GB/T 16919-2021. It can be added as required in various foods and dietary supplements in accordance with food-safety standards. It features four core attributes: high plant-protein content, full-spectrum nutrients, strong antioxidant capacity and high digestibility & absorption rate.
Main Components: Bioactive nutritional complex of natural spirulina biomass (phycocyanin, plant protein, β-carotene, spirulina polysaccharide, γ-linolenic acid, multi-dimensional minerals)
Core Specifications: Food-grade crude protein ≥60.0%, moisture ≤7.0%, ash ≤10.0%, rich in phycocyanin; free of excessive heavy metals and pesticide residues
Appearance: Dark-green fine powder, free of caking and visible impurities. It bears the characteristic natural algal aroma of spirulina without off-flavours or bitter notes. Light-weight powder with good dispersibility.
Stability: Stable physicochemical properties at ambient temperature with good heat resistance; nutrients are not readily lost during conventional processing. Excellent stability under light-proof and moisture-proof conditions. Shelf-life: 24 months when hermetically stored in cool, dry and dark conditions.
Solubility: Can be evenly dispersed in warm water, pure water and various liquid matrices. Suitable for solid- and liquid-form processing. Exhibits excellent compatibility with food, health-product and cosmetic matrices.
➢Regulatory: Natural food-raw-material status with high compliance and clean label; no special labelling required, suitable for developing clean-label health-oriented products.
➢Nutrition: Extremely high nutrient density, containing high-quality plant protein, essential amino acids, antioxidant active substances, vitamins and trace elements with balanced and comprehensive nutritional profile.
➢Absorption: Loose natural microalgal cell structure with sufficient cell disruption. Human digestibility and absorption rate far exceed ordinary plant-based ingredients; light metabolism with no digestive burden.
➢Formulation Compatibility: Freely combinable with sugar alcohols, dietary fibre, whey protein and fruit-vegetable powders without interfering with active ingredients, suitable for full-range health food and functional formulations.
➢Practicality: Fine powder, uniform colouring and natural flavour; low processing loss and high batch-to-batch stability. A classic natural raw material for nutrient fortification and functional-formula upgrading.
Natural plant-protein content exceeds 60%, containing all 8 human essential amino acids with composition matching human nutritional requirements. It efficiently supplies dietary protein and can partially replace animal protein, suitable for vegetarian, low-fat and high-protein health-focused formulations.
Naturally enriched with phycocyanin, β-carotene, spirulina polysaccharide, γ-linolenic acid, B-group vitamins and trace elements including iron, zinc and selenium. A single raw material delivers multi-faceted nutritional supplementation and simplifies formulation systems.
Natural active ingredients such as phycocyanin and carotenoids deliver prominent antioxidant performance. They scavenge free radicals, relieve bodily oxidative stress, retard cellular ageing and enhance the functional value of end-products.
Small-molecule nutritional structure of microalgae requires no complex digestion. It features high human bioavailability, is gentle to gastrointestinal tracts and suitable for long-term daily dietary supplementation for all age groups.
Inherent dark-green tone with uniform colouring and mild shade, good processing stability. It can substitute artificial pigments as a natural plant-based colorant to meet clean-label colouring demands.
Tolerates conventional thermal treatment and exhibits good compatibility with acid-alkali systems. Compatible with stirring, reconstitution, tableting, baking and other processes. Low nutrient loss and consistent product quality during manufacturing.
Spirulina powder is a well-established natural high-nutrition microalgal raw material with food safety credentials and multiple physiological benefits:
Bioactive components including spirulina polysaccharides and phycocyanin modulate immune functions, activate immune-cell activity, strengthen physical resistance and improve sub-health conditions.
Rich in unsaturated fatty acids and active nutrients, it assists lipid-metabolism regulation and smooth post-prandial metabolic responses, suitable for daily dietary conditioning of metabolically-sensitive populations.
Natural dietary fibre and active substances balance gut microbiota, stimulate intestinal peristalsis, improve digestive function and maintain healthy intestinal homeostasis.
Synergistic effects of multi-dimensional nutrients alleviate physical fatigue, boost energy status and scavenge endogenous free radicals to support holistic bodily wellness.
