The biotechnology (genetic transformation and molecular biology) of Bixa orellana L. (achiote)
Planta, 2018Genetic transformation allows for greater bixin or norbixin production in achiote. Knowledge of genes that control the biosynthesis of these important secondary metabolites will allow for targeted amplification in transgenic plants. Annatto is a natural dye or coloring agent derived from the seeds, or their arils, of achiote (Bixa orellana L.), and is ...

Dye-sensitized solar cells with natural dyes extracted from achiote seeds
Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2010Abstract We have explored the application of natural dyes extracted from the seeds of the achiote shrub ( Bixa orellana L.) in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The main pigments are bixin and norbixin, which were obtained by separation and purification from the dark-red extract (annatto).

Green extraction of colorants from achiote seeds for dyeing mordanted nylon fabric
Surface InnovationsThe extraction of sustainable colorants requires energy-efficient technology for their eco-application in different fields. For the current study on nylon fabric, the natural dye from achiote (Bixa orellana) has been extracted in aqueous and acidic media and valorized through microwave (MW) radiation.

Achiotin, An Extract of Achiote Seeds (Bixa orellana L.), As A Histologic Stain for Lipids
Biotechnic & Histochemistry, 1965The seeds of the shrub Bixa orellana are macerated with petroleum ether, the residue is dissolved in a 1:1 mixture of 70% alcohol and anhydrous acetone, and the solution is filtered until it becomes transparent. Solvent is then added to improve the stability of the resulting brownish-red dye.

Variation in the mating system of Bixa orellana L. (achiote) under three different agronomic systems
Scientia Horticulturae, 2017Abstract Bixa orellana L. (achiote), is a tropical species that produces high amounts of bixin, used as a commercial food pigment. In Yucatan, B. orellana (achiote) is cultivated under three different agronomic systems: backyard (solar), polyculture (milpa), and monoculture.
