胭脂樹橙是從紅木籽中提取的一種食用天然黃橙色素，主要色素成分為紅木素（bixin）、降紅木素（norbixin）。

 

    歐盟專家組經(jīng)評估認為，對于所有人群來講，紅木素的膳食暴露量低于ADI數(shù)值，然而對于兒童來講，在最高水平下，膳食暴露量會超過ADI數(shù)值。

    Following a request for technical assistance, EFSA carried out an exposure assessment of the colouring principles bixin and norbixin of the food colour annatto extracts （E 160b）， from its use as a food additive, taking into account new proposed uses and use levels. In 2016, the EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food （ANS） adopted a scientific opinion on the safety of annatto extracts （E 160b） as a food additive. In that opinion, the Panel concluded that the toxicological database was sufficient to derive an acceptable daily intake （ADI） of 6 mg bixin/kg body weight （bw） per day and an ADI of 0.3 mg norbixin/kg bw per day.
