annatto extract

Annatto orange is a food additive obtained from the outer seed coat of annatto seeds, which are derived from the annatto tree (Bixaorellana), also known as the redwood tree, primarily grown in Brazil, Ecuador, Jamaica, and the West Indies. It is extracted and refined using solvents or cold weak alkaline water solution to produce annatto orange (bixin), a food additive. Additionally, it can be further hydrolyzed and refined using hot alkaline solution to obtain annatto orange (nor-bixin), another food additive.

Characteristics:Dark reddish-brown to purple-red powder, suspension, or solution.
