I highly appreciate in receiving any kind of information or a source where market value for crude pigments (mixture of R-phycocyanin, R-phycoerythrin), crude lipids and cellulose is given.
Heavy isotope labeled metabolites and Phycoerythrin (from Red algae and cyanobacteria) used as fluorescent labels could have values far exceeding $10,000 per kg.
Companies: Europa-bio products, Cambridge, UK &
Invitrogen, NY, USA.
The cellulose ether & derivatives market is projected to be worth USD 6.30 Billion, by 2020, registering a CAGR of 7.2% between 2015 and 2020 (www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market.../cellulose-ethers-market-782.html).However, in case of cellulose, it depends on which form and its application. sodium carboxymethyl cellulose used for food application(for bread, juice and meat) costs US $1,500 - 3,500 / Ton.
Cellulose powder - 2.5 USD per Kg ( Shaanxi Xutai Technology Co., Ltd.)
R-phycocyanin (Purity >90%) - $1360 per mg (MYBIOSOURCE INC.)
R-phycoerythrin (Purity >90%) - 11,539.66 INR per mg (Sigma Aldrich)
