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).

Extraction of bixin from annatto seeds with microwave
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2021 Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of extraction time (5,10,15 minutes) and the ratio of the aquadest solvent: ethyl acetate (1: 6.5, 1: 7, 1: 8 v/v) to the yield of pigment. The optimum condition was found in the ratio of the solvent of distilled water: ethyl acetate (1: 7 v/v) extraction time of 15 minutes with low ...
