Betaine Accumulation and Betaine-Aldehyde Dehydrogenase in Spinach Leaves [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1981 Spinach leaf discs accumulated betaine when exposed to a mannitol solution of -20 bars. The accumulation was 12 micromoles per gram original fresh weight in a 24-hour period.Betaine-aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.8) was assayed in various subcellular fractions prepared from spinach leaves, and it was found only in the soluble fraction. This cytosolic

Stability of Betaine Capsules [PDF]
ISRN Pharmaceutics, 2013 Betaine is used to treat homocystinuria and is not available in Canada as a formulated drug. In order to facilitate the administration of this compound to patients, a capsule formulation and an evaluation of its stability were required. Capsule formulations of betaine were developed (160 mg and 625 mg of betaine per capsule).
