FAQ

Q: What is the minimum order quantity for the product?

A: We accommodate orders starting from 1kg to support product development. Commercial production typically begins at 25kg quantities for optimal pricing.

Q: How does heat affect the color stability?

A: Prolonged exposure above 70°C may cause gradual color degradation. We recommend cold-processing techniques or adding the powder during final cooling stages for heat-sensitive applications.

Q: Can I use this powder in acidic beverages?

A: While the powder tolerates pH 5.0-7.5, highly acidic environments (pH <4.5) may shift the color toward green. Buffering systems or microencapsulation can extend stability in low-pH products.

Q: What is the environmental impact of your production?

A: Our closed-loop water recycling system and waste valorization processes minimize environmental footprint. Spirulina cultivation requires significantly less land and water compared to traditional crops.

Q: Is technical data available for regulatory submissions?
