Comparative Study of the Efficiency of Additives in the Extraction of Phycocyanin-C from <i>Arthrospira maxima</i> Using Ultrasonication
Several phycocyanin extraction methods have been proposed, however, most of them present economical or productive barriers. One of the most promising methods that has been suggested is ultrasonication. We have analyzed here the effect of operational conditions and additives on the extraction and pur...

| description | Several phycocyanin extraction methods have been proposed, however, most of them present economical or productive barriers. One of the most promising methods that has been suggested is ultrasonication. We have analyzed here the effect of operational conditions and additives on the extraction and purity of phycocyanin from <i>Arthrospira maxima</i>. We followed three experimental designs to determine the best combination of buffered pH solutions, additives, fresh and lyophilized biomass. We have found that additives such as citric acid and/or disaccharides could be beneficial to the extraction process. We concluded that the biomass–solvent ratio is a determining factor to obtain high extraction and purity ratios with short ultrasonication times. |
