Green Spring Technology Solves the Core Challenge: Launches Odorless, Pure Phycocyanin Ingredient

Enhoy y#39;s era where natural health concepts have taken root, phycocyanin has emerged as a new favorite in the food and beverage industry due to its unique nutritional value and natural blue hue. However, many product developers have faced this dilemma: when eagerly incorporating phycocyanin into formulations, the resulting products inevitably carry an unmistakable “seaweed odor” that proves difficult to mask.

This distinctive odor has become a major hurdle limiting phycocyanin's application in premium products. A renowned dairy company's R&D director admitted: “We tested phycocyanin from multiple suppliers. While the color performance was excellent, that persistent fishy taste forced us to abandon plans for many high-end product lines.” Such challenges are commonplace within the industry.

Market research reveals:

·Over 65% of food and beverage companies limit phycocyanin usage due to flavor concerns

·Nearly 80% of consumers state off-flavors would deter repurchase

·Premium product lines exhibit low acceptance of phycocyanin due to stringent flavor requirements

“Flavor issues not only affect product palatability but directly impact consumer acceptance and market performance,” notes a product manager at Tecnología de primavera verde. “This problem is particularly pronounced in categories like yogurt and beverages, where flavor standards are stringent.”

The root causes primarily stem from:

· Volatile flavor compounds produced during algae growth

· Inadequate removal of flavor compounds through traditional processing methods

· Enhanced oxidation of flavor compounds during storage

Fortunately, this long-standing technical challenge plaguing the industry has now been overcome. Through innovative multi-stage deodorization technology, Primavera verde Technology has successfully developed a flavor-pure phycocyanin ingredient. This breakthrough completely eliminates the troublesome fishy odor while fully preserving its nutritional value and color.

We understand that premium ingredients must deliver not only outstanding functionality but also exceptional flavor performance. Green Spring Technology is committed to providing the industry with healthy and delicious ingredient solutions through technological innovation, empowering phycocyanin to become a true catalyst for high-end product innovation.

Part One: Green Spring Technology's Innovative Deodorization Process, Redefining Pure Flavor 

Green Spring Technology understands that traditional deodorization processes often struggle to balance odor removal with nutrient retention. To address this, we invested significant R&D resources to develop our proprietary “Triple Deodorization” technology system, which comprehensively resolves the flavor challenges of phycocyanin raw materials.

1. Triple Deodorization Technology System

First Layer: Bio-Enzymatic Deodorization

We carefully select specific composite enzyme preparations and precisely control enzymatic conditions:

· Targeted decomposition of small-molecule compounds like aldehydes and ketones that cause fishy odors

· Conducted at low temperatures to prevent nutrient degradation

· Achieves 98% enzymatic efficiency without introducing new off-flavors

Second Layer: Molecular-Directed Adsorption

Utilizing our proprietary porous adsorbent material:

· Precisely engineered pore structure selectively adsorbs off-flavor molecules

· Virtually no adsorption of phycocyanin's core components, maintaining over 99.5% retention

· Entirely physical process with zero chemical residues

Third Layer: Flavor Locking & Stabilization

Through microencapsulation technology:

· Forms a protective layer on deodorized phycocyanin molecules

· Prevents oxidation-induced off-flavors during storage

· Ensures consistent purity throughout shelf life
