This study investigated the incorporation of beetroot in two forms (powder and paste) at five concentration levels (10%–50%) in cupcakes, finding strong linear relationships between beetroot concentration and physical properties. Paste formulations consistently outperformed powder at equivalent concentrations in textural properties, color development ...

Mechanism of interaction of betanin and indicaxanthin with human myeloperoxidase and hypochlorous acid [PDF]
Production of nitrogen dioxide by the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the presence of nitrite is now considered a key step in the pathophysiology of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation.

Temperature-dependent Expression of Betacyanin Synthesis in Amaranthus Seedlings [PDF]
Two phenomena related to temperature effects have been observed during the induction of betacyanin synthesis by a cytokinin (benzyladenine) in Amaranthus tricolor seedlings. One is a total inhibition of betacyanin accumulation at a temperature (39 C) at which seedling growth is unimpaired, and where there is still adequate uptake of benzyladenine.
