Defining Color Change in Pitaya: A Close Look at Betacyanin Synthesis Genes in Stenocereus queretaroensis

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
Betalains are tyrosine-derived plant pigments present in several species of the Caryophyllales order. Betalains are classified in red betacyanins and yellow betaxanthins and are implicated in plant stress tolerance and visual attraction for pollinators ...

Betalain production is possible in anthocyanin-producing plant species given the presence of DOPA-dioxygenase and L-DOPA [PDF]

, 2012
Background Carotenoids and anthocyanins are the predominant non-chlorophyll pigments in plants. However, certain families within the order Caryophyllales produce another class of pigments, the betalains, instead of anthocyanins.

Red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus), a superfruit rich in betacyanins pigments with antioxidative potential for hepatoprotection: A review

Future Foods
Red dragon fruit (RDF, Hylocereus polyrhizus) is an important source of betacyanins (0.79–1.17%) but seldom received attention, leading to a lack of review that mainly focuses on the RDF.

Betanin: A Bioeconomy Insight into a Valued Betacyanin

ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, 2017
Sourced so far mostly from beet root juice, betanin is a red-violet natural colorant increasingly used by the food, beverage and nutraceutical industries. We provide an updated bioeconomy perspective into a valued betacyanin whose supply and applications, we argue in this study, will rapidly expand.
