Apocarotenoids

Alcohol (chemistry)

In chemistry, an alcohol is a type of organic compound that carries at least one hydroxyl functional group bound to carbon.

See Bixin and Alcohol (chemistry)

Alkali

In chemistry, an alkali (from lit) is a basic, ionic salt of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal.

See Bixin and Alkali

Annatto

Annatto is an orange-red condiment and food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree (Bixa orellana), native to tropical parts of the Americas. Bixin and Annatto are e-number additives.

Cis–trans isomerism

Cis–trans isomerism, also known as geometric isomerism, describes certain arrangements of atoms within molecules.

See Bixin and Cis–trans isomerism

Dicarboxylic acid

In organic chemistry, a dicarboxylic acid is an organic compound containing two carboxyl groups.

See Bixin and Dicarboxylic acid

In chemistry, an ester is a functional group derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group of that acid is replaced by an organyl group.

See Bixin and Ester

Food coloring

Food coloring, color additive or colorant is any dye, pigment, or substance that imparts color when it is added to food or beverages.

See Bixin and Food coloring

Hydrolysis

Hydrolysis is any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water breaks one or more chemical bonds.

See Bixin and Hydrolysis

Isomerization

In chemistry, isomerization or isomerisation is the process in which a molecule, polyatomic ion or molecular fragment is transformed into an isomer with a different chemical structure.

See Bixin and Isomerization

Merck Index

The Merck Index is an encyclopedia of chemicals, drugs and biologicals with over 10,000 monographs on single substances or groups of related compounds published online by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

See Bixin and Merck Index

Methyl group

In organic chemistry, a methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, having chemical formula (whereas normal methane has the formula). In formulas, the group is often abbreviated as Me.
