Spirulina
Spirulina is found in highly alkaline salt lakes and can be sourced mainly from Central America, Southeast Asia, Africa and Australia through import by B2B wholesalers, producers and suppliers. The cyanobacterium serves as a source of protein, iron and vitamin A and is also produced in aquacultures due to high demand. Spirulina is obtained by filtering and centrifugation followed by hot air or freeze drying. The dried biomass is pressed into tablets, enclosed in capsules, or pulverized for distribution.
In food manufacturing, Spirulina is used in pasta, fruit bars, powdered beverages, or as a dietary supplement. From the concentrated spirulina powder, the dye spirulina blue (phycocyanin) is extracted, which mainly gives food a blue or green hue. It is also a component of many fish foods and cat foods.
Spirulina is additionally used in biotechnology and bioengineering as a biocatalyst in fermentation processes and for energy production.
