Key Technical Specifications

Quality Control & Testing Methodology

Comprehensive Analysis for Purity and Safety We employ a multi-layered quality control system. Protein content is confirmed using the Kjeldahl method, providing a more accurate measurement than simple nitrogen conversion factors. Heavy metal analysis is conducted via validated GB/T methods, and microbiological safety is ensured through industry-standard AOAC testing protocols. This rigorous approach guarantees that our Spirulina Powder is not only potent but also exceptionally pure and safe for consumption.

Batch-to-Batch Consistency As the original manufacturer, we maintain strict control over the entire production process, from cultivation to final packaging. This ensures remarkable batch-to-batch consistency in color, particle size, and protein content, which is critical for maintaining the quality and predictability of your finished products.

Applications & Formulation Guidance

Our Spirulina Powder’s fine particle size and high protein content make it a versatile ingredient for various applications.

• Dietary Supplements (Tablets & Capsules): The 80-mesh powder ensures uniform blending with other excipients, facilitating smooth tablet compression and consistent capsule filling. Recommended inclusion level: 250mg – 1000mg per serving.
• Functional Foods & Beverages: Ideal for enriching protein bars, meal replacement shakes, and green smoothie mixes. While spirulina has its characteristic taste, it can be easily masked with natural flavors and sweeteners. We recommend starting at 1-3% of the total formulation and adjusting based on sensory targets. Its fine mesh promotes better suspension in liquids, though a stabilizing agent may be beneficial for ready-to-drink beverages.
• Pet Nutrition: A valuable ingredient for premium pet foods and supplements, contributing to a nutrient-rich profile.

Stability, Storage, and Handling

Shelf Life and Storage Conditions The product has a shelf life of 24 months when stored under recommended conditions. To maintain its quality and nutritional integrity, please store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.

Safety & Regulatory Compliance

Heavy Metal & Residue Analysis Our Spirulina Powder is produced in compliance with global food safety standards. We proactively test for lead (Pb), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), and cadmium (Cd) to ensure levels are well below the stringent limits set by authorities like the European Pharmacopoeia and China’s national standards (GB/T).

Microbiological Standards We adhere to AOAC methods to guarantee the absence of harmful pathogens like E.coli and Salmonella, and we maintain low levels of total plate count, yeast, and mold, ensuring the ingredient’s stability and safety in your final product.
