26 Jun 2017 --- Parry Nutraceuticals, a division of E.I.D. Parry and part of the Murugappa Group, has forged a partnership with Synthite Industries to apply proprietary patented technologies for the extraction of Phycocyanin, a natural blue pigment found in Spirulina. Natural Blue is one of the primary colors, and is difficult to master as there are very limited sources that are acceptable by regulatory bodies. Phycocyanin, extracted from Spirulina, is approved by all major regulatory bodies in US, Europe, Japan and South Korea as food color or functional ingredient, as well as being GRAS.
