Bixin is a natural product found in the seeds of the achiote tree (Bixa orellana) that grows in Latin America, India, and East Africa.

Like the carotenes, Bixin contains nine conjugated double bonds, but with carboxyl groups rather than hexene rings at both ends.
Bixin is the original form of annatto that is extracted from the seed coating and is naturally oil soluble.

One method to extract bixin from the seed coat is using hot vegetable oil.
However, bixin is only soluble in vegetable oil at low percentage rates.
You can create stronger products by using bixin suspensions.

This is done through repeat extractions of annatto seeds yielding bixin concentrations of 4% or greater.
Oil soluble bixin is a yellow color, whereas suspensions of bixin are a deep, vivid red orange.
Bixin is sometimes referred to as cis-bixin because of the lone (Z)-configuration of the second double bond from its ester terminus.

When bixin is isolated, the thermodynamically unstable (Z)-bond isomerizes, coverting the molecule to all-trans-bixin.
Both bixins are insoluble in water; but base hydrolysis of either produces the water-soluble diacid norbixin.
All three molecules have vivid red-orange colors.

Bixin is an apocarotenoid found in the seeds of the achiote tree (Bixa orellana) from which it derives its name.
Bixin is commonly extracted from the seeds to form annatto, a natural food coloring, containing about 5% pigments of which 70-80% are bixin.
Bixin is chemically unstable when isolated and converts via isomerization into trans-bixin (β-bixin), the double-bond isomer.

Bixin is soluble in fats and alcohols but insoluble in water.
Upon exposure to alkali, the methyl ester is hydrolyzed to produce the dicarboxylic acid norbixin, a water-soluble derivative.
Bixin is a carotenoic acid that is the 6'-monomethyl ester of 9'-cis-6,6'-diapocarotene-6,6'-dioic acid.

Bixin is a carotenoic acid, a dicarboxylic acid monoester and a methyl ester.
Bixin is a natural product found in Bixa orellana and Apis cerana with data available.
Indigenous peoples have long ground B. orellana seeds into a powder or paste called annatto, of which bixin is the principal ingredient.

Cheeses may have color inconsistencies from batch to batch because of multiple milk sources and seasonal variations in dairy-cow feed.

January 20 is National Cheese Lovers Day, so as you slice your cheddar, be thankful for bixin and the achiote tree.

alpha-Bixin, also known as a-bixin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic diterpenoids.
These are diterpenoids (compounds made of four consecutive isoprene units) that do not contain a cycle.

Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on alpha-Bixin.
Bixin is a natural, orange-yellow pigment extracted from the seeds of the tree also called achiote (its botanical name is Bixia Orellana) native from South America.
Historically, Bixin was used as body paint, sunscreen and even as a natural insect repellent.

Now, is used worldwide in both domestic kitchens and industrial factories and Bixin is grown in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

The seeds of this plant contain a fine dust inside from where we can extract a natural dye that is part of the family of carotenoids: vegetable pigments found in the nugget coating.
In most cases, Bixin is ground into powder or paste for use.

One of the pigments extracted from achiote is known as bixin, used to color oil-based products.
To prepare it, the annatto seed is extracted and concentrated with an alkaline medium that can be soda or potassium hydroxide plus water.

Subsequently, Bixin´s precipitated with sulfuric acid obtaining an orange paste, (called bixin).
Finally, this paste is semi-dried and once Bixin is ready, is mixed with oil to obtain Annatto oil suspention (AOS)

The same orange paste obtained Bixin’s converted into norbixin, which is soluble in water by a chemical reaction called saponification.
This process consists of mixing the bixin paste and sodium hydroxide, changing Bixins physical and chemical properties.
The result: chemical structure changes from bixin to norbixin making it soluble in water.

WHAT IS NORBIXIN?
Norbixin is an organic compound that occurs as a derivative of the bixin compound.
Norbixin is a diterpenoid compound.

Traditionally, Norbixin is used to color dairy products such as natural cheddar cheese, yogurt, dairy drinks, and ice cream.
Norbixin appears in a yellow-red/brown tone.

Norbixin is mostly useful in providing color to non-oil-based products.
The molecular formula of norbixin is C24H28O4.

The molar mass of this compound is about 380.5 g/mol.
Norbixin is a highly polar substance because of the carboxylic acid group, which can contribute to the polarity of the compound.

WHAT ARE THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN BIXIN AND NORBIXIN?
Bixin and norbixin are important coloring agents.
Both substances have uses in the food industry, soap and detergent industry, cosmetic industry, etc.

BIXIN and NORBIXIN?
Bixin is a commonly used natural color in the food industry because Bixin is an economical option for yellow to red-orange hues depending on the application and dosage rate.

Since bixin is oil soluble, Bixin is mostly used in oil-based food applications like process cheese, cheese sauces, and dairy spreads.

Bixin is also a popular choice in the snack food industry where Bixin may be applied to oil-based slurries used to season extruded snacks.

Norbixin is the water-soluble pigment of annatto.
To make Norbixin, we put bixin through a process called saponification.

This cleaves the methyl ester of bixin, forming norbixin.
Like bixin, norbixin varies in hue from yellow to orange depending on the usage rate and application.

Norbixin is traditionally used to color dairy products like natural cheddar cheese, yogurt, dairy drinks, and ice cream where a water-soluble color works better.
In cheese, norbixin binds to dairy proteins during cheese making, imparting excellent color and stability.

Another important food application for norbixin is ice cream where norbixin delivers the light-yellow hue of vanilla flavored ice cream at low use rates and bright orange to compliment mango or other tropical flavors at higher use rates.

If you’re working with a more acidic application like beverages or low pH confections, however, you’ll want to use a norbixin product that has been protected by an emulsification system to avoid precipitation.

Annatto pigment is obtained from the seeds of Bixa orellana, a bush grown in Central and South America.

Annatto has been used as a food colouring for centuries and contains the source for both Bixin and Norbixin pigments.
Bixin is extracted from the seed coating and is oil soluble.

Bixin is suitable for fat and oil based applications such as margarine and other fat emulsions, as well as extruded savoury snacks.

The extraction of annatto using alkaline hydrolysis results in a second water soluble pigment, Norbixin, which is suitable for applications such as fine bakery, breakfast cereals, cheese, confectionery and salad dressings.

Bixin is chemically unstable when isolated and converts via isomerization into trans-bixin (β-bixin), the double-bond isomer.
Bixin is soluble in fats and alcohols but insoluble in water.

Upon exposure to alkali, the methyl ester is hydrolyzed to produce the dicarboxylic acid norbixin, a water-soluble derivative.

Bixin and norbixin are compounds something different: while bixin is dispersible in oil, norbixin is soluble in water.
Generally, these derivatives of annatto are used as an extract in the food industries.
They are appreciated as source of pigments that give orange-yellow color.

Regarding the application of each pigment, the dye extracted from bixin it is applied to cheese, sauces, condiment mixtures, snacks, in bakeries and all the necessary mixtures in oil.
On the other hand, norbixin it is used in dairy products, beverages, cheese, fish, seafood, and sauces.

Bixin (BX), isolated from the seeds of Bixa orellana, is a carotenoid, possessing anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and anti-oxidant activities.

Bixin treatment ameliorated cardiac dysfunction through inhibiting fibrosis, inflammation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation.
