Bixin and Norbixin Have Opposite Effects on Glycemia, Lipidemia, and Oxidative Stress in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats [PDF]
The present study investigated the effects of oral administration of annatto carotenoids (bixin (BIX) and norbixin (NBIX)) on glucose levels, lipid profiles, and oxidative stress parameters in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.

Morphological, Structural, and Thermal Properties of Microbial Carotenoids Microencapsulated by Spray-Drying Using Different Combinations of Wall Materials. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the spray‐drying encapsulation of carotenoid‐rich extracts produced by Sporidiobolus salmonicolor, with the optimization of a ternary wall system of gum arabic (GA), inulin (IN), and corn starch (ST). Carotenoids were produced in a semi‐continuous bioreactor, extracted with organic solvents, and microencapsulated by spray ...

Loss of Dyes by HPLC Analysis in Ras Cheese and its Whey [PDF]
In a previous study, the extract of Turmeric and β-Carotene was extracted from local cheap products for coloring the Egyptian Ras cheese instead of the imported Annatto dye. Ras cheese was made with this extract, and compared with control cheese.

Meat color and iridescence: Origin, analysis, and approaches to modulation
Abstract Meat color is an important aspect for the meat industry since it strongly determines the consumers’ perception of product quality and thereby significantly influences the purchase decision. Emergence of new vegan meat analogs has renewed interest in the fundamental aspects of meat color in order to replicate it. The appearance of meat is based
