- ItemC-phycocyanin extraction from spirulina platensis wet biomass(2011) Moraes, Caroline Costa; Sala, Luisa; Cerveira, Guido Picaluga; Kalil, Susana JulianoC-Phycocyanin is a natural blue dye used in food and pharmaceutical industry. In the present study, a simple and efficient method to extract C-phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis wet biomass is reported. The extractions were carried out using six different methods, including chemical (organic and inorganic acid treatment), physical (freezing and thawing, sonication, homogenization) and enzymatic (lysozyme treatment) methods. The extraction using ultrasonic bath in the presence of glass pearls in the biomass proved to be the most efficient method, 56% higher than using freezing and thawing (the method most frequently used), and presented a extraction yield of 43.75 mg.g-1 and a C-phycocyanin concentration of 0.21 mg.mL-1.
- ItemExperimental Design as a Tool for Optimization of C-Phycocyanin Purification by Precipitation from Spirulina platensis(2009) Silva, Lorena Aguiar da; Kuhn, Kátia Regina; Moraes, Caroline Costa; Burkert, Carlos André Veiga; Kalil, Susana JulianoC-phycocyanin is a natural blue dye that has been used as an additive in food and can be used to produce medications. The major goal of the present study was to obtain C-phycocyanin under the best operational conditions for high C-phycocyanin recovery and purity using the precipitation technique. Crude C-phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis was used. Optimization of the purification was carried out using experimental design. The effect of ammonium sulfate concentration, volume and of pH for resuspension were evaluated. Subsequently an ammonium sulfate fractionation study was carried out using the most suitable conditions found in the experimental design. The best purification condition was ammonium sulfate fractionation at 0-20%/20-50%, in relation to a resuspension volume/initial volume of 0.52 in a 7.0 pH buffer. Under these conditions, in an one-step purification only, the purity increased 70% compared to the initial extract, with an 83.8% recovery.
- ItemExtraction and purification of C-phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis in conventional and integrated aqueous two-phase systems(2010) Antelo, Francine da Silva; Anschau, Andréia; Costa, Jorge Alberto Vieira; Kalil, Susana JulianoExtrato aquoso de C-ficocianina de Spirulina platensis, com e sem resíduos celulares, foi purificado em sistema aquoso bifásico (SAB) polietilenoglicol (PEG)/fosfato de potássio variando-se a massa molar do PEG, a pH 6, mais promissor do que a pH 7. Para os ensaios realizados com cada massa molar, com diferentes percentuais de PEG e sal, as concentrações (mg mL-1), as purezas (OD 620/OD 280) e os coeficientes de partição da C-ficocianina de cada sistema foram determinados e comparados. O processo para a purificação primária de C-ficocianina intracelular com resíduos celulares (integrado), composto por 15% de PEG 1500 e 13% de fosfato de potássio de 5% de PEG 4000 e 18% de sal, alcançaram concentrações de C-ficocianina de, respectivamente, 1,60 e 2,67 mg mL-1 na fase de topo. As purezas foram de 0,73 e 0,79, respectivamente, valores superiores aos obtidos nos sistemas sem resíduos celulares.
