Bixin, Norbixin and Quercetin and lipid metabolism effects in rabbits
Flavonoids have been isolated with several biological activities and there are correlations among the consumption of rich foods in flavonoids and heart diseases. The 7-glucosyl-apigenin, 7- bisulfate-apigenin, 7-glucosyl-luteolin, 7-bisulfate-luteolin flavonoids and bixin and norbixin were isolated from urucu seeds.

The extraction of colorant from annatto seeds (Bixa orellana) is traditionally chemical based, requiring expensive equipment, which limits its feasibility for small‐scale food industries. This study is aimed at developing an optimized aqueous extraction method for red–orange biocolorant from B. orellana seeds using response surface methodology.

Prolycopene, a Naturally Occurring Stereoisomer of Lycopene [PDF]
In this paper we record the observation that there occurs in the variety of tomato called "tangerine tomato" a carotenoid, prolycopene, which is an isomer of lycopene; the isomeric relationship is similar to that between lycopene and neolycopene,I and in

Colloidal gas aphrons separation to obtain polyphenol rich fractions from artichoke agro-industrial discards [PDF]
Artichoke agro-industrial discards have proved an excellent source of polyphenolic compounds with high antioxidant capacity. The aim of this study was to further separate these bioactive molecules from an ethanolic extract by using Colloidal Gas Aphrons (

Immobilization of Peroxidases on Textile Carrier Materials and their Use in Bleaching Processes
The economical use of often high-priced enzymes in chemical synthesis can be improved by the immobilization of the catalyst on a suitable carrier. Particularly some synthetic or natural textile fiber materials such as polyester, polyamide or viscose are ...

STUDI METODE-METODE EKSTRAKSI PEWARNA MAKANAN ALAMI ANNATTO DARI BIJI KESUMBA (Bixa orellana)
Annatto is natural food colorant extracted from Bixa orellana seeds. The main constituent of annatto is bixin, a carotenoid having carboxylic acid groups at both ends of its molecular chain and one of these is methyl-esterified.
