Reduction of selected betacyanins [PDF]

, 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.

Comparative Evaluation of Ultrasonic, High Pressure, and Pulsed Electric Field Processing on the Extraction and Storage Stability of Betalains From Red Beet By-Products. [PDF]

J Food Sci
ABSTRACT This study explores the potential of red beet peel (RBP) and red beet stalk (RBS), often underutilized by‐products, as rich sources of natural pigments and bioactive compounds. Three non‐thermal green extraction methods, namely, high‐pressure processing, ultrasound, and pulsed electric field treatment, were evaluated for their efficiency in ...
