ANNATTO

Annatto is the yellow/orange pigment traditionally used to color cheese and dairy products. Annatto is extracted from the pericap or fruit wall of the shrub achiote (Bixa orellana) and is among the oldest colorant. The oily, resinous material covering the seeds is removed to produce the annatto color. Further purification of the extract resulted in bixin (oil soluble) and norbixin (water Soluble) pigment. Annatto is antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and high in antioxidants.

Alternative Names: C.I. Natural Orange 4, Orlean
