Production & Sourcing
At Source86, we ensure that we give you the highest quality raw ingredients! Our Spirulina Powder goes through a long process to get to where it is — here’s a how its made:
Cultivation:
Spirulina is made from a freshwater seaweed that is cultivated in a nutrient-rich and controlled environment.
Harvesting:
Once the spirulina reaches the desired growth stage, it is harvested. This is typically done by using filtration systems or centrifuges to separate the spirulina biomass from the culture medium.
Washing and Filtration:
The harvested spirulina biomass is thoroughly washed to remove any impurities or debris. It is then filtered to separate the biomass from excess water.
Concentration:
The filtered spirulina biomass is concentrated to remove excess water and increase the concentration of the beneficial compounds. In this stage, the spirulina has the consistency of a paste.
Spray Drying:
The concentrated spirulina paste becomes a powder through a process called spray drying. In this process, the spirulina concentrate is sprayed into a drying chamber together with hot air. The hot air rapidly dries the paste into a powder.
The powder is placed through a sieve to form a fine powder, and you have your Spray-Dried Spirulina Powder!
