Annatto / Bixin / Norbixin

Annatto / Bixin / Norbixin, a carotenoid, is extracted from the orange coloured outer coat surrounding the seeds of the shrub Bixa orellana. When it is initially extracted, it is known as Bixin. Bixin is the Oil Soluble form of annatto, the primary ingredient surrounding the seeds in the fruit of the plant. It can be turned into Norbixin, which is truly water soluble–reducing the need for emulsifiers or gums. This is a unique attribute of annatto within the carotenoid family.
