Bixa orellana
Bixa orellana
Bixa orellana, commonly known as annatto, is a plant traditionally used in Central and South America for its vibrant red dye. The seeds are also employed in traditional medicine, particularly by indigenous communities to treat skin conditions and as a general tonic. Scientific evidence indicates that the seed's extract has potential applications in adsorbing tetracycline under specific pH conditions, with a maximum capacity of 14.94 mg g-1. Additionally, studies have shown promising results for using Bixa orellana seeds in an integrated biorefinery process to produce natural pigments, starch, and nutraceuticals, achieving a gross margin of 21.8% while promoting sustainable practices. No major safety concerns or known drug interactions have been recorded thus far.
