Abstract

The effect of temperature (65; 70 and 75ºC) and sodium hydroxide concentration (0.25; 0.5 y 0.75 N ) on annatto extraction were investigated. The experiments were carried out with an agitation level of 100 rpm and a solvent to seed ratio of 5:1. The greatest extraction of pigments was obtained at 75ºC and a sodium hydroxide concentration of 0.5 N.
