The Annatto Carotenoids and the Norbixin Absorption Coefficient

open access: yesRevista do Instituto Adolfo Lutz, 2018
Annatto seeds present cis-bixin as the major carotenoids, but the norbixin salt is the main pigment present in dyes obtained from the alkaline extraction process. For analyzing the norbixin, the absorptions are obtained in the two spectral peaks with higher intensity, but discrepanciesin the published extinction values have led to serious doubts ...

Recovery of norbixin from a raw extraction solution of annatto pigments using colloidal gas aphrons (CGAs) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Annatto dyes are widely used in food and are finding increasing interest also for their application in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry. Bixin is the main pigment extracted from annatto seeds and accounts for 80% of the carotenoids in the outer ...

Norbixin Protects Retinal Pigmented Epithelium Cells and Photoreceptors against A2E-Mediated Phototoxicity In Vitro and In Vivo - Fig 4 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Comparative pharmacokinetics of bixin (A) and norbixin (B) given orally. (A) bixin or (B) norbixin were given at 50 mg/kg. Plasma analyses—note that bixin is efficiently converted into norbixin (values are the mean of three different animals).

Re‐evaluation of dimethyl polysiloxane (E 900) as a food additive

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2020., 2020
Abstract The Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) provided a scientific opinion re‐evaluating the safety of dimethyl polysiloxane (E 900) as a food additive. E 900 was evaluated by the Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) in 1990 and agreed with the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 1.5 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day previously established by ...

Combining In Vitro Data and Physiologically Based Kinetic Modeling Facilitates Reverse Dosimetry to Define In Vivo Dose–Response Curves for Bixin‐ and Crocetin‐Induced Activation of PPARγ in Humans

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, January 2020., 2020
Beneficial health effects of bixin and crocetin are suggested via activation of peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ (PPARγ). However, it remains unclear whether PPARγ activation can be achieved at realistic human estimated daily intake levels.
