Beetroot Extract Encapsulated in Inulin: Storage Stability and Incorporation in Sorbet
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2017 Betacyanin is a natural colorant extracted, principally, by beetroot, being a good alternative to substitute synthetic colorant, because it not shows toxic effect and established daily intake rate.

Temperature-sensitive Responses of Red Light-dependent Betacyanin Synthesis [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1979 Amaranthus tricolor half-seedlings show a greater accumulation of betacyanin in response to a defined period of red light if given a pretreatment at an elevated temperature (40 C). Red light given before the shift to 40 C is ineffective. The maximum response is achieved after a 2-hour shift to 40 C and if the red light is given 1 hour after return to ...

Pollinator, herbivore, and climatic selective pressures differ across a floral color transition zone
American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Premise Spatial and temporal variations in climate and ecological interactions may underlie the origin and maintenance of floral color polymorphisms across a species range. Betalains are nitrogen‐containing, phylogenetically restricted pigments that, like the widespread and well‐studied anthocyanins and carotenoids, may attract pollinators ...

Betalain synthesis in alfalfa impacts fiber digestion and enteric methane production
Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Betalain pigments, betacyanins, and betaxanthins are widely used as coloring agents as well as in pharmaceutical and functional foods. However, significant betacyanin production occurs in only a few species of plants, which limits their wider application.
