, 2020 Abstract B. orellana is a small, bushy tree 2-8 m tall, with maximum diameter at breast height 10-30 cm (Hensleigh and Holaway, 1988). The main product is a non-toxic organic dye obtained from the fruits, known as annatto or bixin. This dye is used commercially in foods, cosmetics, textiles, polish, wax and stains; locally it is used as an ...

δ‐Tocotrienol Inhibits Migration and Reduces Chemoresistance in Ovarian Cancer Stem‐Like Cells
eFood, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.δ‐Tocotrienol targets ovarian cancer stem cell populations and suppresses stem‐like traits, migration, and chemoresistance, with concomitant downregulation of Akt and NF‐κB signaling. ABSTRACT Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal form of gynecologic malignancies, due to its intrinsic chemoresistance and ability to relapse.

Coloration Technology, Volume 142, Issue 3, Page 333-353, June 2026.Abstract Natural dyes are compounds that occur naturally in several organisms and are classified based on chemical structure and application method. The literature cites several natural dyes used in industrial transformation processes. Annatto dye is used in the food industry, and its biological pigment is extracted from the annatto seed. However, this

Overcoming dormancy in seeds of Bixa orellana L.
Scientific Electronic Archives, 2023 Annatto seeds, Bixa orellana L., have dormancy mechanisms that make their germination difficult, requiring testing of different methods to enable their reproduction. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the emergence of Bixa orellana seeds submitted to solutions and periods of imbibition to overcome dormancy.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3230-3246, June 2026.Summary Carotenoids and apocarotenoids are widespread specialized metabolites, yet animals, including sponges, lack the ability to synthesize carotenoids de novo and must obtain them from dietary or microbial sources. The roles of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) in marine animals remain largely unexplored. A CCD from the marine sponge Suberites

Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): I. The Role of Tree Structure
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.A portion of rainfall that contacts tree canopies is drained down tree stems as stemflow. Stemflow is an underexamined component of rainfall partitioning in tropical forests. To investigate how tree canopy structural attributes influence stemflow in the Brazilian Amazon, we measured stemflow, rainfall, and dendrometric parameters of 56 trees in the ...
