Abstract

This reviewpresents the survey of performance of biomaterials prepared using norbixina and poly(hydroxybutyrate) as biomaterials in biological applications. Biomaterials can replace and/or stimulate biological systems that no longer have their functions, such as the restoration of tissue functions. In the field of biomaterials, norbixin is an antioxidant dicarboxylic carotenoid found in Bixa orellana L. and poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is a natural polymer that has characteristics of biodegradability and biocompatibility. There is a shortage of studies involving such constituents together as biomembranes in tissue healing with repair of cutaneous wounds or bone regeneration, although both present promising research that suggests its effectiveness as a guide for tissue regeneration.
