Analysis of Annatto (Bixa orellana) Food Coloring Formulations. 1. Determination of Coloring Components and Colored Thermal Degradation Products by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Photodiode Array Detection

چکیده
Twenty-one samples of commercial annatto formulations have been analyzed for color content (as bixin or norbixin) using a developed HPLC-PDA method and the results compared with those obtained using UV-vis spectrophotometric methods. HPLC-PDA provided superior qualitative and quantitative data, particularly with respect to the determination of colored degradation compounds. Two samples of norbixin of known production history were subjected to detailed HPLC analysis to identify possible differences in their colored and degradation component profiles. The samples differed significantly in their all-transand di-cis-norbixin isomer contents, which was indicative of their respective production histories.

متن کاملDetermination of bixin and norbixin in meat using liquid chromatography and photodiode array detection.
The development of an analytical method that enables routine analysis of annatto dye, specifically bixin and norbixin, in meat tissue is described. Liquid-solid extraction was carried out using acetonitrile. Analysis was by HPLC with photodiode array detection using two fixed wavelengths (458 and 486 nm). The possibilities of ion trap mass spectrometry (MS) were also assessed. Method performanc...
متن کاملAntigenotoxic and antimutagenic potential of an annatto pigment (norbixin) against oxidative stress.
Carotenoids are 40-carbon molecules with conjugated double bonds, making them particularly effective for quenching free radicals. They have always been believed to possess anticancer properties, which could be due to their antioxidant potential. Norbixin is an unusual dicarboxylic water-soluble carotenoid present as a component in the pericarp of the seeds of Bixa orellana L. (from the Bixaceae...
