摘要： Phycocyanin (PC) is a blue-colored, pigment-protein complex with unique fluorescence characteristics. However, heat leads to PC fading and fluorescence decay, hampering its widespread application. To improve the thermal stability of PC, we induced the in situ mineralization of calcium phosphate (CaP) on the PC surface to prepare PC@Mg-CaP. The nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that PC@Mg-CaP was spherical, and the nanoparticle size was less than 200 nm. The shell of PC@Mg-CaP was composed of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP). The study suggested that CaP mineralization significantly improved the thermal stability of PC. After heating at 70 degrees C for 30 min, the relative concentration of PC@Mg-CaP with a Ca/P ratio = 2 was 5.31 times higher than that of PC. Furthermore, the Ca/P ratio was a critical factor for the thermal stability of PC@Mg-CaP. With decreasing Ca/P, the particle size and thermal stability of PC@Mg-CaP significantly increased. This work could provide a feasible approach for the application of PC and other thermal-sensitive biomolecules in functional foods requiring heat treatment.
