Aminophosphonate-Induced Changes of Betacyanine and Ionic Efflux
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2001 Betacyanine and ionic leakage from red beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. L. rapacea) roots and lilac (Syringa vulgaris L.) leaves under the influence of new aminophosphonates were studied by spectroscopic and conductometric methods. It was found that the leakage of dye or electrolytes depended both on the concentration of the compounds used and their structural

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.Pulsed electric field (PEF) processing qualitatively reshapes the phytochemical profile of red beet extracts, resulting in enhanced endothelial bioefficacy. Compared with conventional extraction, PEF‐treated extracts more effectively restore nitric oxide signaling, suppress endothelial inflammation, and normalize vascular structure in high‐fat diet ...

The Role of Betacyanins in Plant Salt Tolerance [PDF]
, 2021 <p>Soil salinity is a major threat to future food stability. Almost 20% of irrigated land is currently too saline to grow traditional crops. Moreover, rising sea levels, scarcity of fresh water, and more intense and prolonged periods of drought are exacerbating the problem. Saline soils severely reduce yields of most crop plants.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.This graphical abstract presents the preparation, optimization, and characterization of spray‐dried Aonla–Giloy juice powder. Fresh Aonla fruit and Giloy stem were processed through extraction, pre‐treatment, filtration, blending, maltodextrin addition, and spray drying, followed by RSM‐based optimization of key formulation and drying variables.

Production of Betacyanins in Transgenic Nicotiana tabacum Increases Tolerance to Salinity
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Although red betalain pigments (betacyanins) have been associated with salinity tolerance in some halophytes like Disphyma australe, efforts to determine whether they have a causal role and the underlying mechanisms have been hampered by a lack of a ...

Identification and Determination of Betacyanins in Fruit Extracts of Melocactus Species [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2020 Betacyanin pigments were studied in edible fruits of four Melocactus species, M. violaceus Pfeiff., M. bahiensis (Britton & Rose) Luetzelb, M. amoenus (Hoffm.) Pfeiff., and M. curvispinus Pfeiff., by means of chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques.

Physicochemical characterization and phenolic compound content of flour from blended juice residues
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 7, Page 4331-4340, May 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND The production of fruit juices generates substantial amounts of residue, including peels, seeds, pomace, stalks, and leaves, which are rich in nutritionally relevant compounds, such as fiber and bioactives. The aims of this study were to evaluate drying conditions for converting mixed juice residue, composed of apple, beetroot ...

Engineering Betalain Biosynthesis in Tomato for High Level Betanin Production in Fruits
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Betalains are pigments found in plants of the Caryophyllales order, and include the red-purple betacyanins and the yellow-orange betaxanthins. The red pigment from red beets, betanin, is made from tyrosine by a biosynthetic pathway that consists of a ...
