Influence of Storage Temperature on the Stability of Heat Treated Phycocyanin-λ-Carrageenan Complexes in Liquid Formulations

The protein-chromophore interactions of phycocyanin are prone to changes in environmental conditions. Loss of these interactions leads to disappearance of the color. After stabilization with λ-carrageenan, phycocyanin can be stabilized over 28 days.
