Separation and purification of phycocyanin from Spirulina sp. using a membrane process

► Phycocyanin extract from fresh biomass show high purity and save cost for drying. ► MF and UF have potential for separation and purification of phycocyanin extract. ► Under MF and UF processes give food grade phycocyanin. ► These processes are economical feasibility and simplify to handle.
