Biosynthesis of the Food and Cosmetic Plant Pigment Bixin (Annatto)

Science, 2003
Bixin, also known as annatto, is a seed-specific pigment widely used in foods and cosmetics since pre-Columbian times. We show that three genes from Bixa orellana , native to tropical America, govern bixin biosynthesis.

Thermal Degradation Kinetics of Bixin in an Aqueous Model System

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2005
The kinetics of the thermal degradation of the natural cis carotenoid bixin in a water/ethanol (8:2) solution was studied as a function of temperature (70-125 degrees C), using high-performance liquid chromatography. The curves for the decay of bixin and formation of products (e.g., di-cis and all-trans isomers and a C17 degradation compound) did not ...

PROPERTIES OF BIXIN AND NORBIXIN AND THE COMPOSITION OF ANNATTO EXTRACTS

Journal of Food Science, 1971
SUMMARY— The melting point and 1 1% cm ‐values of a‐bixin, β‐bixin, and a‐norbixin were determined and the stability of a‐bixin examined under different conditions. The total pigment content of butter colors was determined.

Evaluation of the clastogenicity and anticlastogenicity of the carotenoid bixin in human lymphocyte cultures

Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis, 2005
Carotenoids are regarded as effective antioxidants, antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic agents. Annatto, a red-yellow extract obtained from seeds of Bixa orellana L. is a mixture of several carotenoids and one of them bixin (BXN), is known as its major coloring compound.

Uptake and immunomodulatory role of bixin in dogs.

Journal of animal science, 2016
Carotenoids are readily absorbed from the diet and distributed in blood leukocyte subcellular organelles. Bixin, a potent bioactive found in the seed of the Annatto plant, , possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The purpose of this study was to determine the uptake of bixin by plasma, lipoproteins, and leukocytes in domestic dogs and ...
