Definitions
- Tocotrienols generally are classified as farsnesylated chromanols (FC) and mixed terpenoids. Tocopherol and tocotrienol are believed to have beneficial effects because they act as antioxidants. Tocotrienols, in particular, have been documented to possess hypocholesterolemic effects as well as an ability to reduce atherogenic apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein plasma levels. Further, tocotrienols are believed to be useful in the treatment of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
- FC farsnesylated chromanols
- ⁇ -tocotrienol and ⁇ -tocotrienol have been identified as effective suppressants of cholesterol activity, Qureshi, et al, "Response of Hypercholesterolemic Subjects to Administration of Tocotrienols," Lipids, 30(12) (1995), and in inducing apoptosis of breast cancer cells, Yu, et al, "Induction of Apoptosis in Human Breast Cancer Cells by Tocopherols and Tocotrienols," Nutrition and Cancer, 33(l) 26-32 (1999).
- Tocols which includes tocopherols and tocotrienols, have several sources, including several vegetable oils, such as rice bran, soybean, sesame and palm oils. Tocotrienols have been discovered in the seeds ofBixa orellana Linn, otherwise known as the achiote tree. See, Jondiko, I.S., et al, "Terpenoids and an
- each source of tocotrienols and tocopherols generally contains more than a single tocol homolog.
- palm oil and rice bran oil generally include both tocotrienols and tocopherols.
- ⁇ -tocopherol has been reported to attenuate certain effects of tocotrienols, such as the cholesterol-suppressive activity of ⁇ -tocotrienol. See, for example, Qureshi, et al, supra.
- tocotrienols and tocopherols can be difficult to separate.
- Geranylgeraniol includes acyclic diterpene alcohols (ADA) and geranylgeraniated terpenoids (GGT), and occurs naturally in linseed oil and cedrela toona wood and tomato fruit. Geranylgeraniol also has been discovered to exist in the seeds ofBixa orellana. See Craveiro, et al, "The Presence of Geranylgeraniol in Bixa Orellana Linn," Quimica Nova, 12 (3) :297-298 (1989). Potential uses for geranylgeraniol include synthesis of co-enzyme Q 10 , vitamin K and tocotrienols.
- a source of material known as a byproduct solution ofBixa orellana seed components which is obtained as an oily material after removing the bulk of annatto color, is removed from either the aqueous extract or solvent extract of annatto seeds. Further, this byproduct contains a tocotrienol component and a geranylgeraniol component and can be used as a source for the recovery of a tocotrienol component and a geranylgeraniol component.
- the present invention generally is directed to a method of forming a tocotrienol composition.
- the method includes volatilizing solvent from a byproduct solution ofBixa orellana seed components to form thereby a tocotrienol composition.
- the method further includes the step of distilling a geranylgeraniol component of the tocotrienol composition. At least a portion of the geranylgeraniol component is separated thereby from the tocotrienol composition to form a geranylgeraniol distillate.
- the method of forming a tocotrienol composition includes extracting at least a portion of an annatto component from Bixa orellana seeds, whereby an aqueous fraction is formed.
- the aqueous fraction includes the annatto component, a tocotrienol component and a geranylgeraniol component.
- the annatto component is precipitated from the aqueous fraction to form an annatto precipitate and a byproduct solution ofBixa orellana seed components. Water then is volatilized from the byproduct solution ofBixa orellana seed components to form the tocotrienol composition.
- the method includes distilling tocotrienol components of the tocotrienol composition to form a tocotrienol distillate.
- the present invention has many advantages. For example, the amount of ⁇ - tocotrienol present in the byproduct solution ofBixa orellana seed components employed by the method is very high (500-700 times higher) relative to that found in other common sources, such as palm oil or rice bran oil. Further, and also in contrast to palm and rice bran oils, there is essentially no ⁇ -tocopherol present in the byproduct solution ofBixa orellana seed components employed by the method of the present invention.
- the tocotrienol composition formed and, optionally, the tocotrienol distillate formed generally does not require separation of ⁇ -tocotrienol from ⁇ -tocopherol which, as discussed above, can have a mitigating effect on the therapeutic properties of ⁇ -tocotrienol.
- the byproduct solution ofBixa orellana seed components is a convenient source of geranylgeraniol. Therefore, relatively high concentrations of geranylgeraniol also can be obtained by the method of the invention.
- the Figure is a schematic representation of apparatus that can be employed to conduct the method of the invention.
- Bixa orellana Linn otherwise known as the achiote tree, is a member of the Bixaceae family and is native to tropical America. It is grown commercially in other parts of the world, generally within 20° of the equator or more preferably within 15° of the equator.
- the seeds ofBixa orellana Linn are the source of a reddish-orange colorant, known as annatto, that contains bixin and orelline, both of which are carotenoid pigments. The colorant is used commonly in foods, dyes and polishes. Typically, annatto is extracted from dehusked seeds in an aqueous caustic solution.
- the colorant is precipitated from aqueous caustic solution by addition of a suitable acid, such as sulfuric acid.
- a suitable acid such as sulfuric acid.
- the precipitated colorant is removed by filtration.
- Filtercake of precipitated annatto colorant is dried and milled to form a commercial product.
- An oily phase generally is separated from an aqueous caustic phase by centrifugation or by settling.
- the annatto colorant can be extracted from seeds in an organic solvent, such as hexane, acetone, or an alcohol. Miscella containing color and byproduct oil are allowed to cool sufficiently to precipitate the annatto colorant. The precipitate is separated as bottoms from the organic solvent.
- tocotrienols and geranylgeraniol are present in the byproduct oily phase of annatto colorant from annatto seeds and, especially, from whole dehusked annatto seeds.
- large amounts of these non-saponifiable oily materials e.g. tocotrienols and geranylgeraniol
- tocotrienol-rich fractions and geranylgeraniol-rich fractions can be obtained in one unit of operation.
- the method of the invention generally is directed to a method of forming a tocotrienol composition by volatilizing a solvent, such as water, or an organic solvent, from a byproduct solution ofBixa orellana seed components.
- a "byproduct solution ofBixa orellana seed components” is defined herein as a solution derived from Bixa orellana seed components having a concentration of annatto colorant significantly reduced from that ofBixa orellana seeds themselves.
- Other common terms for byproduct solution used for commercial products include: oil-soluble annatto color or annatto oil.
- the concentration of annatto colorant, which is defined as bixins and other carotenoids, chemically modified, altered or esterified, in byproduct solution ofBixa orellana seed is less than about two percent, by weight, such as between about 0.05 weight percent and about 2.0 weight percent.

- water is volatilized in evaporator 16 at a temperature in a range of between about 20°C and about 140°C at an absolute pressure in a range of between about 10 torr and about 760 torr (all pressures are represented as absolute, rather than gauge pressures).
- Solvent volatilized from evaporator 16 is removed through conduit 18 and can be collected for reuse, such as in a subsequent extraction, or discarded. Volatilization of solvent from the byproduct solution forms a tocotrienol composition in evaporator 16.
- the tocotrienol composition is directed from evaporator 16 through line 20 to vessel 22.
- a suitable vegetable oil such as rice bran oil, is directed into vessel 22 from vegetable oil source 24 and is mixed with the tocotrienol composition.

- the tocotrienol composition is directed from vessel 22 through line 26 to evaporator 28.
- evaporator 28 is a thin film evaporator, such as a falling- film, wiped-film or short-path evaporator.
- the evaporator can be of a continuous mode or batch mode type.
- Geranylgeraniol is volatilized in evaporator 28 and removed as overhead vapor through line 30.
- the vapor is condensed in condenser 32 for recovery in vessel 34.
