Concentration of C-Phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis Using Forward Osmosis Membrane Process
Scientists performed an experiment where the concentration of a natural colorant called C-Phycocyanin
(C-PC) extract from a Cyanobacteria Spirulina platensis was explored by forward osmosis process.
The effect of various parameters such as change in Feed and Osmotic Agent (OA) flow rate (25–125 mL/min), OA concentration (1–6 M NaCl) was studied during the concentration of C-PC by using two different modules having different membrane area for forward osmosis.
Results showed that the purity ratio was increasing to reach a food grade level.
