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.

Reduction of selected betacyanins

, 2014
Betacyanins are conjugates of betalamic acid and glycosylated cyclo-DOPA which bring about the creation of a specific chromophoric system, the 1,7-diazaheptamethin chain. Betanin, a betacyanin pigment from red beet (Beta vulgaris L.), as well as its decarboxylated derivatives were subjected to reduction with the use of NaBH4.

Nitrogen Supply Affects Photosynthesis and Photoprotective Attributes During Drought-Induced Senescence in Quinoa

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Drought during senescence has become more common in Mediterranean climates in recent years. Chenopodium quinoa Willd has been identified as tolerant to poor soil conditions and drought. Previous observations have found that sufficient nitrogen (N) supply

Development of kiwi fruit leather incorporated with hydrocolloids and betacyanin microcapsules: Rheological behaviour and release kinetics of betacyanin

Applied Food Research
The kiwi fruit leather incorporated with betacyanin microcapsules was prepared using three hydrocolloids namely xanthan gum, gellan gum, and guar gum. The four-kiwi fruit puree prepared for the study were kiwi fruit puree without hydrocolloid (CP), with xanthan gum (XE), with gellan gum (EP), and with guar gum (UP).
