Mathematical modeling for the annatto (Bixa orellana L.) seed drying process

The pigment extraction process using annatto (Bixa orellana L.) seed produces a large amount of seed waste. Although most of these seeds are discarded, a number of studies report promising results with their use in animal feed. The good fiber content also suggests human nutrition applications, with...
