Why BlueC™?

BlueC™ is relied upon by leading customers and partners across the food, beverage, and nutraceutical sectors. Its exceptional quality, consistent performance, and clean-label credentials make it the preferred choice for organisations seeking natural alternatives to conventional colourants. Manufacturers and formulators trust BlueC™ to deliver stable, high-purity colour solutions that support modern regulatory requirements and consumer expectations. By partnering with Algae Products International, customers gain access to scalable supply, verified quality, and advanced extraction technology designed for demanding applications and seamless integration from development to commercial production. 

BlueC™ vs Standard
Market Phycocyanin 

Proprietary extraction & purification unlocks high-purity CPC (≥2.0)

Advanced extraction technology built for the demands of modern food manufacturing 

BlueC™ is a 100% natural phycocyanin ingredient platform engineered for high-performance applications in food, beverage, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical manufacturing where conventional colourants fail. Developed by Algae Products International (API), BlueC™ is produced using proprietary solvent-free membrane extraction technology, enabling exceptional pigment purity, batch-to-batch consistency, and reproducible functional performance at commercial scale. 

Unlike commodity pigments, BlueC™ is manufactured under tightly controlled conditions from spirulina cultivated in closed photobioreactors, ensuring high process control, traceability, and contaminant minimisation. This results in a clean-label, vegan, allergen-free blue ingredient designed to meet modern regulatory and formulation demands without compromise. 

BlueC™ is positioned as a natural alternative to synthetic petroleum-derived dyes such as Brilliant Blue FCF (E133), offering manufacturers a stable, high-purity colour solution that supports the global shift away from artificial additives. With scalable supply from pilot to full industrial volumes, BlueC™ enables seamless integration from development through to commercial production, without sacrificing consistency or quality. 

BlueC™ Platinum represents our premium high-purity grade, achieving an A620/A280 purity ratio ≥ 2.0 for enhanced colour strength and functional performance. For advanced applications requiring even higher specification, BlueC™ Platinum+ delivers ultra-high purity (A620/A280 ≥ 3.0), designed for specialist use cases including laboratory, R&D, and high-value formulation development.
