Betanin: A Bioeconomy Insight into a Valued Betacyanin

open access: yesACS 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.
