Adsorption Characteristics of Bixin on Acid- and Alkali-Treated Kaolinite in Aprotic Solvents
Bioinorganic Chemistry and Applications, 2018 The adsorption of bixin in aprotic solvents onto acid- and alkali-treated kaolinite was investigated. Kaolinite was treated three times, for 6 h each, with 8 M HCl or 5 M KOH. The adsorbents were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, EDS, and BET-N2.

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.The extraction of colorant from annatto seeds (Bixa orellana) is traditionally chemical based, requiring expensive equipment, which limits its feasibility for small‐scale food industries. This study is aimed at developing an optimized aqueous extraction method for red–orange biocolorant from B. orellana seeds using response surface methodology.

Bixin uptake by blood lipoproteins and leukocytes in dogs
The FASEB Journal, 2007 Bixin may possess anti‐inflammatory action. We studied bixin uptake in dogs given a single dose or repeated doses. In Exp. 1, Beagle dogs (2 yr old; n = 6/dose) were dosed with 0, 5, 10, 20 or 40 mg bixin. Blood was taken at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 h post‐administration. Because norbixin uptake was low, only data on bixin are reported.
