Uptake of bixin by blood lipoproteins and leukocytes in cats

The FASEB Journal, 2007
Bixin was used originally as remedies for asthma, pleurisy, sunstroke and burns. The uptake of bixin in companion animals is unknown. We fed domestic shorthair cats bixin extracted from the annatto seed (1.6% bixin, <0.3% norbixin). In experiment 1, domestic cats (3 yr old; n = 8/dose) were orally dosed with 0, 1, 5 or 10 mg bixin and blood was ...

Protective effect of bixin on cisplatin-induced genotoxicity in PC12 cells

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2012
Bixin is the main carotenoid found in annatto seeds (Bixa orellana L.) and is responsible for their reddish-orange color. The antioxidant properties of this compound are associated with its ability to scavenge free radicals, which may reduce damage and protect tissues against toxicity caused by anticancer drugs such as cisplatin.

Polylactide films produced with bixin and ATBC: effect of thermal treatment on bixin stability and migration kinetic

, 2019
The incorporation of antioxidants into a polymeric structure to produce antioxidant active materials is an alternative way to extend the shelf-life of fatty food products. Even tough polylactide (PLA) present satisfactory mechanical properties, it requires improvements to be used as an antioxidant material for food packaging.
