Prooxidant activity of norbixin in model of acute gastric ulcer induced by ethanol in rats

Human & Experimental Toxicology, 2015
Free radicals and oxidative stress play a central role in gastric injuries caused by ethanol (EtOH). Antioxidant strategies to counteract EtOH toxicity are highly desirable. Norbixin (NBIX) is a carotenoid with antioxidant potential largely used in the food industry.

Effect of bixin and norbixin on the expression of cytochrome P450 in HepG2 cell line

Cell Biology International, 2013
AbstractBixin and norbixin are the main components of annatto, which is extracted from Bixa orellana and largely used as natural colorant in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Annatto can enhance CYP1A and CYP2B activity in rats; however, the inducer effect has not been investigated in human cell lines.

Characteristics of Activated Carbon and Carbon Nanotubes as Adsorbents To Remove Annatto (Norbixin) in Cheese Whey

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2013
Removing annatto from cheese whey without bleaching has potential to improve whey protein quality. In this work, the potential of two activated carbon products and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) was studied for extracting annatto (norbixin) in aqueous solutions.

Microencapsulation by Freeze-Drying of Potassium Norbixinate and Curcumin with Maltodextrin: Stability, Solubility, and Food Application

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2013
Stability of potassium norbixinate and curcumin by microencapsulation with maltodextrin DE20 and freeze-drying was evaluated as a function of exposition to light, air, different pH, water solubility, and in food applications. The best results were obtained with microencapsulated potassium norbixinate 1:20, which, when vacuum-packed and in the presence ...

Synthesis and determination of the Sun Protection Factor of a cosmetic gel-cream based on norbixin

2023
This work aimed to determine the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of a cream-gel based on norbixin through spectrophotometry. Samples of gel-cream A and B were prepared at a concentration of 0.2 μL/mL and the absorbances were measured in the UVB region and the SPF was calculated using the equation used in the Mansur method.

Kinetics study of norbixin’s first stage thermal decomposition, using dynamic method

Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2007
Cis-norbixin isomer obtained by hydrolysis of cis-bixin and isolated by solvent extraction from annatto seeds. The thermal decomposition data of the cis-norbixin samples were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis at different heating rates in the 25–900°C temperature range.

Norbixin, an apocarotenoid derivative activates PPARγ in cardiometabolic syndrome: Validation by in silico and in vivo experimental assessment

Life Sciences, 2018
The increased prevalence of cardio-metabolic disorders worldwide prompted the exploration of new strategies for its treatment. Peroxisome Proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) play major role in regulation of lipid as well as glucose metabolism and thus, natural PPARγ activators seem to be drug of choice.In the present work, we studied norbixin which ...

Nanoencapsulation of Bixin and Norbixin in Sodium Alginate: Preparation, Characterization, and Release in Food Simulant

Current Bioactive Compounds
Aims: Bixin and norbixin are natural antioxidants used as pigments in the food industry, but their chemical structure makes them susceptible to environmental factors (light, oxygen, and temperature). Background: Nanoencapsulation techniques can improve the stability and solubility of these compounds in addition to reducing particle size which can ...
