Annatto is a natural colorant and flavoring agent that is derived from the seeds of the achiote tree. It has a vibrant yellow to orange-red color and is commonly used to add color to foods such as cheese, butter, and snacks. It is a natural colorant and has a slightly sweet and peppery flavor, which is commonly used in Latin American, Caribbean, and Filipino cuisine. It also contains carotenoids, such as bixin and norbixin, that can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. In addition, it contains tocotrienols, a type of vitamin E that may help reduce cholesterol levels and improve heart health. Moreover, annatto is derived from a natural plant source, making it a popular choice for those following a plant-based diet. Owing to these properties, annatto finds extensive applications across the food and beverage (F&B) and pharmaceutical industry across the globe.

Annatto Market Trends:

The market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for processed foods across the globe due to rapid urbanization and changing consumer lifestyles. These foods often require coloring agents to enhance their visual appeal, which is accelerating the adoption of annatto.
