Nowadays, the use of natural colors in the food and pharmaceutical industries is very important. Natural pigments obtained from animals, plants and microorganisms are a promising alternative to artificial food colors because synthetic colors have a negative effect on human health in the long term. Phycocyanin is used as a natural blue and water-soluble pigment instead of artificial blue food dyes, which in addition to coloring food, have potential useful properties as antioxidants and anticancer agents, and therefore have received scientific and industrial attention. Phycocyanin is extracted from microalgae such as spirulina and has a health-giving role against various conditions such as cancer, anemia, inflammation, diabetes, obesity and neurological disorders, and has gained popularity due to its various applications in various food and pharmaceutical industries. In this research, an overview of the biotechnological production of phycocyanin edible blue dye from spirulina microalgae, microbial culture, extraction, purification, stability methods and its applications have been discussed.
