1393-63-1 Usage
Chemical Properties
The extract prepared from annatto seed, Bixa orellana (L.), using a food grade extraction solvent
Physical properties
Annatto extracts occur as dark red solutions, emulsions or suspensions in water or oil or as dark
red powders.
Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 1393-63-1 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Food coloring in dairy products, especially butter and cheese, flour confectionary, fish, meat products, soft drinks, snack foods and dry mixes. In wood stains, polish, and varnishes. Spice or condiment. Insect repellent.
2. annatto extract (Bixaorellana) is used in creams and sun products as a colorant and a highlighter. The orange color it provides is obtained from the plant’s dried fruit, specifically the pulp.
3. Annatto is a color source of yellowish to reddish-orange color
obtained from the seed coating of the tree bixa orellanna. the oil-
soluble annatto consists mainly of bixin, a carotenoid soluble in fats
and oils with the color which is produced in the fat portion of the
food. it has a yellow hue, very good oxidation stability, fair light
stability, and good heat stability, but it is unstable above 125°c. the
water-soluble annatto is norbixin (the product resulting when bixin
is saponified and the methylethyl group is split off) which is dis-
solved as a potassium salt in lye. it is readily soluble in aqueous
alkalis with the coloring occurring in the protein and starch fraction
of the food. it has a yellow to orange hue and precipitates in most
acid foods. the usage level is 0.5–10 ppm in the finished food. it is
used in sausage casings, oleomargarine, shortening, and cheese.
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by
intraperitoneal route. Human systemic
effects by skin contact. When heated to
decomposition it emits acrid smoke and
irritating fumes.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 1393-63-1 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 1,3,9 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1393-63:
(6*1)+(5*3)+(4*9)+(3*3)+(2*6)+(1*3)=81
81 % 10 = 1
So 1393-63-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
