Effects of different drying methods on C-phycocyanin content of Spirulina platensis powder

Abstract

The aim of this research was to determine the effects of different drying methods on C-phycocyanin extracted from Spirulina platensis. Two different drying techniques, including freeze-drying and oven-drying, were used in this research. 27.3% phycocyanin content was determined by freeze drying. Compared with that group, by oven drying method has been observed loss of 35.4% phycocyanin. The phycocyanin purity ratio (A620 / A280) was found 1.26 and 1.16 by using freeze drying method and oven drying method, respectively.
