Alginate‐Based Encapsulation of Phenolic Compounds: Insights Into Gastrointestinal Stability, Release Behavior, and Bioaccessibility

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 10, 27 May 2026.
Alginate‐based encapsulation systems exhibit pH‐responsive behavior during gastrointestinal digestion. Calcium‐alginate matrices limit phenolic release under gastric conditions by forming a compact alginic acid barrier, while intestinal conditions promote matrix swelling and controlled release.

Photosynthetic pigments, betalains, proteins, sugars, and minerals during Salicornia brachiata senescence

Biologia Plantarum, 2018
Senescence is the last developmental stage in plants during which recycling of nutrients takes place from senescing organs to newly formed organs such as young leaves and developing seeds.

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.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculation Enhances Nutritional Quality of Prickly Pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) Fruits and Cladodes

Agriculture
The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation on the chemical composition of the fruits and cladodes of two Opuntia ficus-indica cultivars, characterized by their red and yellow fruit color, were investigated under field conditions.

A modifiedAmaranthus betacyanin test for cytokinin bioassay

Biologia Plantarum, 1975
A modified procedure for the extraction of betacyanin fromAmaranthus seedlings is described. Application of this modification increased the absorbance of cytokinin-treatedAmaranthus explants in most cases. The modifiedAmaranthus test is compared with the soybean callus test in the bioassay of kinetin, 6-benzylaminopurine, and 6(δ,δ-dimethylallyl ...

The efficacy of solvents, ascorbic acids, and pH on the yield of betacyanin and betaxanthin extraction compounds of Pablo beetroot

Discover Chemistry
Betalains are valuable natural pigments with growing demand in food, nutraceutical, and dye applications, yet their extraction efficiency varies widely according to solvent polarity, pH, and antioxidant environment. This study systematically investigates

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

Comparative Test of Color Stability between Betalain Pigments of Red Dragon Fruits and Anthocyanin Pigments from Tamarillo Fruit at Various pH

Jurnal Kimia Sains dan Aplikasi, 2018
Betalains and anthocyanins are classes of natural and water soluble pigments. Now days, these pigments have been developed as a replacement colouring agents. One of betalain resource is dragon fruit and anthocyanin resource is tamarillo.
