In this work, a chitosan-modified nanofiber membrane was fabricated and used to examine the permeation characteristics of C-phycocyanin (CPC) obtained from Spirulina platensis. The effects of NaCl concentration (0.1–1.0 M), chitosan coupling pH (6–8), chitosan coupling concentration (0.1–3.0%), alga...
