Abstract
ACTIVITY
1. A Lab-scale approach to simulate and improve current phycocianin extraction process (P2, P7) and to define the maximum concentration in different spirulina samples.
2. A laboratory training to specialized technician.
3. Analytical (spectrophotometric characterization and, if necessary, ultrafiltration using centrifugal devices with membranes of various molecular weight cutoff) and support to pilot-scale tests (T2) for extraction of phycocyanin by membrane technology (P2).
4. Support in defining the performance of pilot-scale tests (P2) and acquisition of process data (D8).
5. Analyses (spectrophotometry and mass balance quantification) of all streams to support pilot tests (D9).
6. Spectrophotometric characterization of phycocyanin blue food-grade product (D10).
