Annatto Extract
Industrial Applications
Annatto Extract is used as a natural colorant in the food industry, imparting a reddish-orange hue to products such as dairy, meat, beverages, and baked goods. Beyond its coloring properties, it also offers antimicrobial and antioxidant benefits, making it a valuable additive in a variety of food formulations.
Physical Properties
Annatto Extract is derived from the seeds of the Bixa orellana tree and contains carotenoid compounds, primarily bixin and norbixin. These compounds give the extract its characteristic reddish-orange color. It is typically a powder or oily extract and is soluble in fats and oils, while its solubility in water varies depending on the form (bixin is fat-soluble, norbixin is water-soluble).
