摘要
The present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of annatto (Bixa orellana L) dye. Annatto extracts obtained from the seeds of the tropical shrub Bixa orellana L have wide spread use in the food industry for the colouring of many commodities. The principal colouring component of annatto seeds is the liposoluble diapocarotenoid, 9"-cis-bixin, which is the monomethyl ester of the water soluble 9"-cis-norbixin. Annatto extracts are usually formulated to provide suitably stabilized forms in the colour range red-orange-yellow for use in a wide range of foods such as dairy products, flour confectionary, fish, soft drinks, meat products, snack foods, and dry mixes.
