Isolation and functional characterization of two dioxygenasese putatively involved in bixin biosynthesis in annatto (Bixa orellana L.)

Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) are enzymes that have been implicated in the biosynthesis of a wide diversity of secondary metabolites with important economic value, including bixin. Bixin is the second most used pigment in the world’s food industry worldwide, and its main source is the aril...
