The Annatto Carotenoids and the Norbixin Absorption Coefficient
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]
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 ...

The safety of annatto extracts (E 160b) as a food additive
Following a request from the European Commission to EFSA, the EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) was asked to re‐evaluate the safety of annatto extracts, bixin‐based and norbixin‐based, when used as a food additive and ...

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

In my article, I have presented notifications regarding the eight most frequently reported hazards in the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed, using cluster analysis. Analysis of notifications reported in the RASFF may be helpful in the activities of European and national government bodies and contribute to increasing food safety to the European ...
