Storage Stability and In Vitro Bioaccessibility of Liposomal Betacyanins from Red Pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus)

Molecules, 2022
In order to address the poor stability of the betacyanins from red pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus, HP), which are considered as good sources of natural colorant, liposomal-encapsulation technique was applied in this study. Thin-layer dispersion method was

Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported model

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Anthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co‐occurrence, arguing that methodological flaws and data misinterpretation have led to unsupported reports, and offer recommendations for more rigorous future research.

Pulsed Electric Field Processing Enhances the Endothelial Bioefficacy of Red Beet (Beta vulgaris L.) Extracts by Restoring Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase–Nitric Oxide Signaling in High‐Fat Diet Rats

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Pulsed electric field (PEF) processing qualitatively reshapes the phytochemical profile of red beet extracts, resulting in enhanced endothelial bioefficacy. Compared with conventional extraction, PEF‐treated extracts more effectively restore nitric oxide signaling, suppress endothelial inflammation, and normalize vascular structure in high‐fat diet ...

Effects of Different Pretreatments With Vacuum Drying on Drying Kinetics, Bioactive Properties and Physicochemical Characterization of Red Beetroot Snacks

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Different pretreatments significantly affected the drying kinetics and quality attributes of vacuum‐dried red beetroot snacks. Microwave pretreatment markedly shortened the drying time and enhanced effective moisture diffusivity, while ultrasound pretreatment preserved the highest betalain content.

The Redox Properties of Polyphenols and Their Role in ROS Generation for Biomedical Applications

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 3, 16 January 2026.
The dual redox nature of polyphenols enables antioxidant activity and controlled reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. This review details the biomedical applications of polyphenols in materials such as nanoparticles, coatings, and hydrogels for antimicrobial, tissue regeneration, and cancer therapies.

Transcriptional Regulation of the Novel Theacrine Synthase Gene CsTcS2 by the CsTINY–CsWRKY33 Module Underpins Theacrine Biosynthesis in Camellia sinensis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4823-4843, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Theacrine (1,3,7,9‐tetramethyluric acid) is a purine alkaloid detected in multiple wild and specialised tea germplasms (Camellia sinensis) from South China, including Kucha. However, the molecular mechanisms governing its biosynthesis remain poorly understood. Here, we identify CsTcS2 as a novel theacrine synthase in tea plant.

Anticancer and Anti‐Inflammatory Potential of Betalains: A Systematic Review on Preclinical Studies

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Betalains derived from diverse natural sources, including beetroot (Beta vulgaris), Opuntia ficus‐indica, yellow prickly pear, and Atriplex hortensis “rubra” leaf and seed extracts, as well as purified betalains (amaranthin, celosianin, betanin, betaxanthins, and related derivatives), exhibit significant anticancer and anti‐inflammatory activities in ...

Aminophosphonate-Induced Changes of Betacyanine and Ionic Efflux

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2001
Betacyanine and ionic leakage from red beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. L. rapacea) roots and lilac (Syringa vulgaris L.) leaves under the influence of new aminophosphonates were studied by spectroscopic and conductometric methods. It was found that the leakage of dye or electrolytes depended both on the concentration of the compounds used and their structural
