ANNATTO EXTRACTS . Chemical and Technical Assessment First draft prepared by James Smith, Reviewed by Mrs Harriet Wallin 1. Summary The food colour ANNATTO is obtained from the outer layer of the seeds of the tropical tree Bixa orellana L. The principle pigment in ANNATTO , cis-bixin, is a carotenoid, which is contained in the resinous coating surrounding the seed itself. Processing is primarily done by abrading off of the pigment in an appropriate suspending agent for production of the native bixin from the seed. Processing may alternatively involve aqueous alkaline hydrolysis with simultaneous production of norbixin.
