Advances in Betalain Biosynthesis and Metabolic Engineering for Sustainable Natural Pigment Production [PDF]
BioTechBetalains are water-soluble pigments containing nitrogen, and they exist naturally in the plants of the order Caryophyllales. They have gained increasing attention in recent years because of their intense colours, antioxidant activity, and safety, thus ...

The evolution of betalain biosynthesis in Caryophyllales [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2019 SummaryWithin the angiosperm order Caryophyllales, an unusual class of pigments known as betalains can replace the otherwise ubiquitous anthocyanins. In contrast to the phenylalanine‐derived anthocyanins, betalains are tyrosine‐derived pigments which contain the chromophore betalamic acid. The origin of betalain pigments within Caryophyllales and their

Soybean Cyst Nematode‐Resistant Protein AATRhg1 Affects Amino Acid Homeostasis and Betalain Accumulation [PDF]
Plant DirectAmino acid transporters play crucial roles in plant nitrogen metabolism but also in defense responses. AATRhg1, an apparent amino acid transporter encoded by Glyma.18g022400 (Rhg1‐GmAAT) at the soybean Rhg1 locus, contributes to resistance to soybean ...

Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best-supported model. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Anthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co‐occurrence, arguing that methodological flaws and data misinterpretation have led to unsupported reports, and offer recommendations for more rigorous future research.

Nonthermal Concentration of Red Beetroot Juice by Reverse Osmosis and Forward Osmosis. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrRO and FO were used for nonthermal concentration of red beetroot juice. Single strength juice was concentrated by RO to 17 °Brix, and by FO to 50 °Brix; color and betalain were preserved by both processes. Overall, FO is a promising method for concentrating beetroot juice.
