He remarks that "the red colour of the seedcoat is the most common food carotenoid additive (bixin) and the tocotrienol acts as a protectant to the unstable carotenoid against photo-oxidation." To date, annatto is the only known source of tocotrienol that is naturally free of tocopherol and asserts the highest content of the powerful delta-tocotrienol.
