| Summary: | C-Phycocyanin (CPC) is one type of phycobiliprotein found in Spirulina platensis and has numerous
benefits. In previous research, CPC has been developed as a substrate for determining pancreatic protease
activity. The aim of this study is to determine the appropriate method for protein content determination
in the developed CPC fraction. Protein content is one of the parameters that need to be determined to
ensure the quality of the CPC fraction. The research was conducted in several stages, including the
preparation of the CPC fraction, selection of the protein determination method, verification of the chosen
method, and application of the selected method. The obtained CPC fraction has blue luminescent
characteristics, with a spectrum peak at a wavelength of 620 nm, CPC content of 0.117 mg/mL, and purity
of 1.063. The results of the method selection indicate that the most suitable method is the Bradford
method. The verification of the Bradford method shows a correlation coefficient value of 0.9981, limit of
detection 0.044 mg/mL limit of quantification 0.147 mg/mL, a recovery percentage range of 97.313-
100.228%, and %RSD of 1.71%. The application of the Bradford method to the CPC fraction sample shows
a concentration of 0.151 mg/mL
