The red pigment B-phycoerythrin (B-PE), a component of the light- harvesting complex of the microalgae Porphyridium purpureum, has gained wide practical application in recent years in food, cosmetics, pharmacology, and biomedical research. The elaborated technologies for large-scale cultivation of P. purpureum and the high content of B- PE in its biomass are the basis for expanding the practical application of this pigment. The study was aimed to develop a method for obtaining aqueous B-PE extra
