Effects of Photochemical Bleaching in Spirulina:


Bird view about the term Photochemistry:

Photochemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the chemical effects of light. Generally, this term is used to describe a chemical reaction caused by absorption of ultraviolet (wavelength from 100 to 400 nm), visible light (400 – 750 nm) or infrared radiation (750 – 2500 nm).

Consideration aspects for Green Algae:

The Morphological Helical structure of Spirulina is been also considered as an important feature of product quality. However, spiral length and helix pitch and orientation of these spiral green algae’s usually change under different conditions. According the studies, The spiral nature of this green algae shows the natural strength of spirulina, Where dense spiral shape of the spirulina will be richly characterized with important features like Auto-shading  property, Enhanced Anti-oxidants, Anti-suppressor protein complex, Anti-microbial and Anti-fungal complex.

Mechanism and effects of Photochemical bleaching in blue green Algae:
During the process of photochemical bleaching, especially with respect to commercially operated open ponds, when these green algae’s are exposed to continues solar radiation, The algae’s are highly susceptible to effects of high levels of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) & Ultraviolet radiation (UVR).  As a result of this continues effects of radiations in micro algae’s, It will leads to cause number biochemical changes in the cellular framing like Pigment bleaching, protein degradation, enzyme inactivation and DNA photoproduct formation.
