Spirulina is being produced in highly alkaline growth medium to protect it from any contamination. The harvest after separation is rinsed in clean water to reduce alkalinity, dried in Sun / mechanically and finally powdered.
The Spirulina being produced has about 65-68% Amino Acids and about 18% Carbohydrates, Apart from very good amount of Minerals. It does not have sufficient quantity of Ascorbic Acid (Vit C) which needs to be supplemented for making it complete food.
The following table gives the approximate Amino Acids, vitamins and minerals contained in our Spirulina.

The important fatty acids like linoleic acid and linolenic acid are also present: up to 1.0 g/100 g of dry biomass of spirulina. The predominant fatty acids are palmitic acid (44.6–54.1 percent), oleic acid (1–15.5 percent), linoleic acid (10.8–30.7 percent) and γ-linolenic acid around 8.0–31.7 percent. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is an essential fatty acid rarely available in ingredients or diet.
The content of cholesterol is 32.5 mg/100 g. 10 g of spirulina powder, i.e., a soup spoon, provides only 1.3 mg of cholesterol and 36 kcal of energy, whereas the equivalent quantity of protein from egg would provide 300 mg of cholesterol and 80 kcal of energy. As a result spirulina powder is used to supplement the diet with protein and, at the same time, control extra weight. The average recommended dose is between 2 and 8.5 g in 24 hours.
Quantity Available: 30MT / month from December 2012.
200MT/Month from February 2013.
PRICE OFFERED: INR 1,300,000 per MT. (1300/kg)
SAMPLES AVAILABLE: INR 1500 per Kg Sent per Courier / Express.
