  • Method for producing high OD phycoerythrin
    Publication number: 20040137583
    Abstract: A new method for producing phycoerythrin with high optical density [OD] from the group selected from an algae whose life cycle has sexual reproduction, asexual reproduction, and vegetative propagation, such as Galaxaura oblongata, Halymenia ceylanica, Helminthocladia australis, and Porphyra dentata.

  • Process for preparing phycoerythrin from bangia atropurpurea and porphyra angusta
    Patent number: 5358858
    Abstract: A process for preparing phycoerythrin from Bangia atropurpurea or Porphyra angusta is disclosed. Spores of Bangia atropurpurea or Porphyra angusta, derived from their thalli, are cultivated under a controlled condition to germinate filaments. Phycoerythrin is then resulted from the extraction of filaments which are processed through drying powder-mill grinding, water or phosphate percolating and ammonium sulfate salting-out. The phycoerythrin is further purified by gel filtration. This process yields the phycoerythrin of 99% purity.
