Characterisation and stability evaluation of bixin nanocapsules

Food Chemistry, 2013
The aim of this study was to produce bixin nanocapsules by the interfacial deposition of preformed poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL). PCL (250 mg), capric/caprylic triglyceride (400 μL), sorbitan monostearate (95 mg) and bixin were dissolved in a mixture of acetone (60 mL) and ethanol (7.5 mL) under stirring (40 °C).

Improvement of Bixin Carotenoid Stability through the Formation of M–bixin (M = Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Se⁴⁺) Complex Compounds Based on Photodegradation Kinetic Studies

Indonesian Journal of Chemistry
Bixin is used in wide-ranging food applications but is susceptible to degradation by many factors, including light. This research aims to increase bixin photostability through metal complexation. Bixin was complexed with Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, and Se4+.

Understanding Solvent/Bixin Interactions by Raman Spectroscopy

Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, 2020
In this work, Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been used in order to understand the nature of the interaction between the carotenoid bixin and organic solvents with dielectric constant varying from ca. 2 (toluene) to ca. 47 (dimethyl sulfoxide). Raman shifts registered for the main carotenoid marker band, the C=C
