DESCRIPTION

BS EN 18204:2026


This standard BS EN 18204:2026 Algae and algae products. Determination of the phycocyanin content in Arthrospira (Spirulina) is classified in these ICS categories:
  • 13.020.55 Biobased products
This document specifies the extraction and determination procedures for the phycobiliproteins C-phycocyanin (C-PC) and the complementary pigment allophycocyanin (APC) from dry samples of species belonging to the genus Arthrospira (Cyanobacteria, Cyanoprokaryota or blue-green algae)(nowadays referred to Limnospira, [1]), and commercially known as Spirulina. This document enables laboratories analysing Arthrospira samples to report accurate C-PC and APC concentrations and yields.
